Wolverines Continue Winning Streak

This past week the Wolverines took on Buckingham Browne and Nichols, also known as BB&N, in what turned out to be a record shattering victory for Bridgton. BB&N was undefeated for two years with a lineup of scholarship players but could not keep the streak going as the Wolverines took the field.

Christian Lavoie (Hopkinton, MA) took the mound earning the win with six strikeouts, only giving up three walks, five hits, and allowing two runs scored. Shawn Kenney (Braintree, MA) went three for three at the plate with two walks, a stolen base, and two RBIs. Joey McCarthy (West Roxbury, MA) went three for four with two walks, a double, scored three runs, and had two RBIs. Dan Concannon (Everett, MA) went three for four with two walks, a double, scored a run, and had two RBIs. Ben Callahan (Exeter, NH) went three for five with two RBIs and one run.

Coach Izaryk commented after the game, "We played our best game of the year today. It all started on the mound today with Christian Lavoie giving us a chance to score first, and ultimately, extend our lead. We had many players contribute offensively today, and our defense made routine plays behind Christian. We certainly had our share of special defensive plays as well, but facing a team like BB&N, who are so deep and talented, we knew we needed to play well in all three facets of the game to win. I am proud of the game we played today."

The next day the Wolverines faced off against Holderness and walked away with a 12-2 win that ended with a Tanner Chase (York, ME) home run. Callahan threw a solid game and had eight strikeouts, only let up three hits, two walks, and two earned runs. Marco Spisso (Highland Falls, NY) did well at the plate going two for two with a double and three RBIs. Concannon also had a solid day at the plate going two for three with a double and two runs scored.

At the end of the week, Coach Izaryk was very happy with the team’s performance in every single game, especially their last. "I was happy with our energy today. Sometimes after a big win on the road, it can be tempting to relax a bit. In support of Ben Callahan's effort on the mound, we scored first and played aggressive, smart baseball all day. I was especially happy with the play of Tanner Chase, who made routine plays for us at short like he's done all year, but delivered a home run to right field to end the game. Tanner has tremendous potential to go along with a tireless work ethic, and it was nice to see him get rewarded for all the hard work he put in this week," commented Izaryk.

Up next the Wolverines will take on Hebron Academy at home this Wednesday at 3:00 PM.
