On Senior Day at the Winkin Complex on Saturday morning, the JB seniors came out swinging against the Hermon Hawks and cruised to a 17-2 victory in 5 innings.
Nick Pooler hit the first pitch he saw up the middle, the sun burst out of the clouds, and the Crusaders plated 11 first inning runs to put the Hawks away early.
All the seniors started today's game and they made the most of their appearances.
Pooler went 2 for 4 with 2 runs, 2 rbi, and 2 stolen bases. Matt Duplisea was 2 for 3 with a triple, 3 runs scored and a walk. Casey Hull was 2 for 3 with 3 runs scored, 2 rbi., a HB, and stolen base.
Chase Huckstein was 2 for 2 with 4 rbi, a triple, a walk, and 2 runs scored.
Miles Gagnon was 2 for 3 with a triple, 2 rbi, and 2 runs scored. Derek Smith walked, was hit by a pitch, scored and pitched the final inning setting down the Hawks in order with one strikout.
Tyler Chamberlain also doubled and had an rbi in the 4th inning.
Doug Dieuveuil made solid contact on three groundouts.
Bill Wetherbee had a big day as well: single, double, triple, walk, 4 runs scored, and 2rbi.
Matt Storgaard also singled and scored in the final inning.
(Remember all of this was done in just 4 innings...maybe we should have put some in the 'bank.')

Jason McBurnie picked up his 5th win on the season going 4 innings, giving up 4 hits, no walks, while striking out 2. Both runs given up were unearned.
Congratulations JB on your 9th win of the season. (9-5-1)
