John Bapst and Mattanawcook Academy of Lincoln battled to a six-inning 8-8 tie on a blustery, rainy, cold Thursday up in Lincoln. This was NOT baseball weather, yet Billy (Wether)bee had not problem launching a 2 run HR over the left field fence in the top of the sixth inning. Chase Huckstein had a hot bat also, going 3 for 4 with a bases loaded triple to go with 2 singles and 4 rbi on the day. Casey Hull was hit by a pitch and scored on Billy's 'bomb' to LF. Miles Gagnon was 1 for 3 with a sac bunt and run scored. Nick Pooler walked twice, scored twice, had an rbi and stolen base. Wetherbee walked and scored before homering late in the game. Adam Leadbetter was 1 for 3 with a stolen base. Chris Hammond singled in a run and Matt Duplisea was hit by a pitch and scored.
Jason McBurnie battled the Lynx (and the ridiculous weather!) for 5 innings, giving up 4 runs and striking out 4.
Nick Christie came on in relief and walked 4 while giving up 4 unearned runs.
Details of how/when/if this game will be finished will be announced later.
Congratulations boys on braving the elements and still playing with a lot of heart and spirit.
