The Wolverines Take Home a Big Win

The baseball team was finally able to turn the season around with a big 12-0 win over Thayer Academy. Joey McCarthy (West Roxbury, MA) took the mound for six innings and recorded 10 strikeouts, only gave up 2 hits and two walks, and didn’t allow any runs.

Solid pitching started the team off well and strong performances at the plate sealed the victory. McCarthy had a big day all around going 2-4 with a double, a homerun, and three RBIs. Ben Callahan (Exeter, NH) went 3-4 with a double, 3 runs scored, and an RBI. Bo Belt (Concord, MA) batted well going 3-4 with a double and three RBIs. Dan Cushing (Wilmington, MA) made his first appearance of the season batting 2-4 with a homerun, three RBIs, and two runs scored.

The team was thrilled with the win and credited everyone for their effort. “The whole team came out to play. We really came together and played as a team. It felt great to win under the belt,” commented team captain Christian Lavoie.

With this big victory behind them, the team is now looking to continue the momentum as they travel this Wednesday to Southern Maine Community College to play at 3:00 P.M.
