Keene SwampBats Offense Quiet in Loss
(MyKeeneNow) The Vermont Mountaineers held the SwampBats to three hits and won 6-3 on Monday. Vermont took the lead in the bottom of the first on a bases-loaded two-run double to the right field warning track. After re-loading the bases and forcing the SwampBats into an early pitching change, a deflected groundout to second made it 3-0. After a nice 1-4-3 double play began the bottom of the second, Vermont produced a two-out rally. They drew a walk, and then hit back-to-back singles to score a run before their fifth hitter Carlos Martinez hit his second two-run double in the first two innings, putting the Mountaineers up 6-0. As it looked like the league’s top team was going to run away with it, some fireworks in the third tightened up the game. Vermont Manager Mitch Holmes was ejected after arguing constantly over the strike zone. Immediately after, all-star Joe Jaconski (Penn State) walked to put runners at first and second. All-star Jake Koonin (Princeton) came up next and drilled a three-run home run halfway up the scoreboard in left field. It was his league-leading ninth home run of the season. After the game, Koonin said “he threw me a first pitch heater and I felt like I had him timed up pretty well.” Vermont’s dugout remained incensed after the ejection of their manager and third-baseman Brennan Norton followed suit by getting tossed in between innings.

Ocean State Edges Keene SwampBats
(MyKeeneNow) The Ocean State Waves came back from 4-0 down to beat the SwampBats 6-5 on Tuesday night in Rhode Island. Under an overcast sky and facing Keene High School graduate Pete Haas, the SwampBats jumped out to an early lead. All-star Ripken Reese (Kent State) was hit by a pitch to begin the second inning, and then Sam Biller (Connecticut) singled sharply into right. Penn State’s Bryce Molinaro singled to center to score the game-opening run, and then Brett House (Mississippi State) hit a sacrifice fly. With two on and two out, JD Jones (Rutgers) hit a flyball to right that was muffed by the Ocean State right fielder, scoring another run. All-star Joe Jaconski (Penn State) capped off the rally with a base hit to right-center, making it 4-0 Keene. The SwampBats had all-star Jake Koonin (Princeton) on third and Biller on second in the top of the third but failed to score. The Waves set the table with a double and a walk in the bottom of the third and then halved the deficit with a two-run double down the right-field line. Three batters later, an infield single made it 4-3. With two outs in the fourth, the Waves’ slugged a two-run home run that snuck over the wall in center, putting Ocean State ahead 5-4. SwampBats starter Ryan Van Buren (Maryland) struck out two over four innings.
