Baseball Extends Winning Streak

The baseball team has had a successful run as they extend their win streak to six games. They traveled to Phillips Exeter Academy and walked away with a 27-5 win. They then faced Southern Maine Community College at home and won 10-6.

In Wednesday’s game against Phillips Exeter, Ben Callahan (Exeter, NH) took the mound in his home town and didn’t let anyone down. He threw for just over four innings and recorded two strikeouts. At the plate the Wolverines put up a strong effort resulting in 27 scored runs. Dan Concannon (Everett, MA) went four for six, scored two runs, with an RBI and a walk. Tanner Chase (York, ME) went two for four, scoring four runs, six RBIs, and a Grand Slam. Marco Spisso (Highland Falls, NY) went six for six, scoring four runs with four doubles and four RBIs. Jason Hudson (Raleigh, NC) went three for five, scoring three runs, and had three RBIs.

The next day when the Wolverines took their home field they kept up the momentum from the big win over Phillips Exeter and secured a 10-6 win over Southern Maine Community College. Joey McCarthy (West Roxbury, MA) started on the mound for five innings with five strikeouts and only allowed two hits. Christian Lavoie (Hopkinton, MA) came in for the save and threw for two innings striking out three batters and didn’t allow any hits. At the plate Shawn Kenney (Braintree, MA) performed well going one for one, scoring three runs, and taking a walk. McCarthy went two for four, scored two runs, tallied three RBIs, and hit a double and a triple. Chase was walked four times at the plate and scored two runs for the Wolverines. Spisso had another solid day going one for three with a double and two RBIs.

Up next the team will travel to Kents Hill this Saturday to play at 2:30 P.M.
