BA Goes 3-0 On the Weekend

Friday night the Wolverine baseball teams started off a busy weekend with a 6-3 win over Emmanuel College. While BA initially trailed 3-2 heading into the 7th inning, they soon turned things around. After BA’s lead off batter was retired, they strung six consecutive hits together. Paul Iasiello (Westborough, MA)had the hit of the game in the form of a two RBI double to take the lead. Colin Clancy (Chelmsford, MA), Zach Littman (Abington, MA), Nick Swim (St. Albans, VT), Danny Wynne (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ), Iasiello and Drew Carter (Newburyport, MA) each had a hit in the 7^th for the comeback win.

After a day off, the team hit the field for their next game and took away a 7-2 win over Merrimack College’s club team. Walker O’Connor led the effort on the mount with five innings pitched and seven strikeouts. Cam Charette (Wenham, MA) offered relief for two innings with, striking out four. Littman had another big day going five for five with a stolen base and four runs scored. Wynne and Ryan Slattery (Smithfield, RI) also had strong performances both going one for one with an RBI each.

After the big win over Merrimack, the Wolverines took a small break before taking the field again to play the University of New Hampshire’s Club team. While UNH was previously undefeated in NECBA league play, the Wolverines handed them a 7-5 loss.

While Bridgton was up 7-5 in the 6th, UNH loaded the bases. Slattery ran down a long fly ball, diving in the right center field gap for the final out of the inning. Still with a lead in the 7^th, UNH loaded the bases once again, this time with nobody out. Littman struck out three consecutive hitters to end the game and secure the win.

George Seigel was strong on the mound throwing four innings for the win and retiring six batters. Danny Sheehan (Scituate, MA), Ammad Khan (South Windsor, CT), and Littman all saw time on the mound in relief.

With BA holding the #5 seed in the playoffs, their opponent in Tuesdays matchup will be decided soon. Site and opponent will be decided by games this weekend, but the Wolverines are almost certainly playing Babson.
