Baseball Sweeps SMCC and UNE

This weekend the baseball team had two stellar performances. They started out Friday evening with a 5-1 win over Southern Maine Community College. Danny Wynne (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ) went one for two with an RBI triple early in the game to give Bridgton the advantage. Nick Swim (St. Albans, VT) also did well at the plate going two for four with an RBI and a stolen base. Eoin McAvinchey (Andover, MA) was solid on the mound pitching seven innings for the complete game only letting up two hits and two walks while striking out eleven batters.

With a day off in between, the baseball team faced the University of New England at home and shutout the Nor’easters 11-0. Paul Iasiello (Westborough, MA) led the effort at the plate going three for three with four RBIs and a triple. Zach Littman (Abington, MA) went one for two with two runs scored while Colin Clancy (Chelmsford, MA) went one for three with two runs scored. Brian Nessing (Manchester, CT) went one for one with an RBI. Cam Charette (Wenham, MA) pitched the complete five inning game with six strikeouts, two hits, and four walks.

Coach Izaryk was happy at the end of the week saying, "we are starting to play our best baseball of the year. With our NECBA playoffs on the horizon in the coming weeks, it is important for us to build on our successes from this weekend. Our pitching staff has been outstanding, our defense has supported them well, and we are starting to produce runs at the plate. We are looking forward to getting back on the field Wednesday at UNE."

The team will travel to UNE to play this Wednesday at 7:00 P.M.
