BA vs. SMCC 9/25/13

Bridgton Academy baseball opened up a busy week last week at St. Joseph’s College in what was considered a home game vs. Southern Maine Community College. BA exploded in the bottom of the first, scoring four runs on three hits. The offensive assault was led by Johnny Williams (Mashpee, MA) who got things going with a double into the gap in left center. After Aaron Drummy (Norwood, MA) walked, Cody Younger (Middleboro, MA) and Evan Morris (Pembroke, MA) followed with hits of their own, as BA would go on to take a 4-0 lead after the first inning. Jake Smith (East Longmeadow, MA) was the starter for the Wolverines, pitching three and a third innings, allowing two earned runs and seven hits. He was relieved by Brandon Glover (Croton-on-Hudson, NY) and Gehrig Schilling (Medfield, MA). After BA’s hot start, the Wolverines settled into the game a little too much and would not score again, as SMCC chipped away at their lead all game. SMCC took the lead five to four in the seventh inning after an untimely error. With their backs against the wall for the first time this fall season, BA had no answer for the SMCC closer who retired the side. The Wolverines suffered their first loss of the season.
