Valley Blue Sox’s comeback falls short at home against Keene Swamp Bats
HOLYOKE – In the bottom of the eighth inning of Wednesday’s matchup between Valley and Keene, the Blue Sox loaded the bases with one out with the tying run on third. But Swamp Bats pitcher Sean Finn got an out with a play from the plate and a strikeout en route to leading the road team to an eventual 5-4 victory on Wednesday night.
Keene SwampBats win close game at Valley
The SwampBats scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in a 5-4 victory at the Valley Blue Sox on Wednesday. Joe Jaconski (Penn State) walked as the first batter of the game and advanced to second when David Mendez (Vanderbilt) reached on an error by the third baseman. Sam Biller (Connecticut) then hit a deep fly ball to left but the Valley left fielder made an unbelievable catch as he dove toward the outfield wall to take away an extra-base hit. The next hitter, Nick Romano (Florida Atlantic) singled in Jaconski. In the second, Andrew Wiggins (Indiana) singled through the left side and JD Jones (Rutgers) was hit by a pitch. Wake Forest’s Austin Hawke absolutely clobbered a double 383 feet to straight away center field to score Wiggins, and Jones scored on Jaconski’s subsequent sacrifice fly to make it 3-0. Connecticut’s Joe Carrea allowed no runs through two innings, but the Blue Sox got on the board with a single, a walk, and two flyouts in the third.
