Keene SwampBats Lose Back and Forth Game
(MyKeeneNow) Jake Koonin hit two home runs, but the SwampBats fell to the Upper Valley Nighthawks 8-6 on Friday night. It was a perfect start for the SwampBats when Princeton’s Jake Koonin came up as the second batter of the game after a Joe Jaconski (Penn State) single. Koonin drilled the second pitch he saw over the 380 sign in dead center field for a two-run shot. Upper Valley responded in the bottom half, putting runners on second and third with a pair of doubles, the second of which kicked off an infielder’s glove. A sacrifice fly scored a run and a walk put runners at the corners. The next batter hit a line drive single which again deflected off an infielder’s leather to tie the game at two. The Nighthawks took the lead on a wild pitch before Jaconski caught a lineout to finally end the inning. Florida Atlantic’s Nick Romano made a terrific pick on a short hop to turn a 5-4-3 double play with Ripken Reese (Kent State) to help put up a zero in the second. Upper Valley forced a pitching change in the third after a single, a double, and a run scoring ground ball. Franklin Pierce’s Stephen Bangs came in with one out and runners at first and third, and his very first pitch resulted in a 4-6-3 double play turned by Reese and shortstop Austin Hawke (Wake Forest).
