Baseball: Norwich Sweeps Daniel Webster
Nashua, NH - Chris Pybus went 3-for-4 including
what proved to be a game winning RBI single in the top of the seventh
that scored Aaron Ward as Norwich held on for a
7-6 victory over host Daniel Webster and complete a GNAC sweep Friday
afternoon.
The Cadets (5-15, 4-6 GNAC) took the opener, 9-1.
The nightcap victory made a winner of Kyle Przekaza
who tossed 4 2/3 innings in relief of starter Alex Duplessis
allowing four runs on seven hits, striking out four and walking
four.
Jordan Kittredge added two hits and scored once,
while James Ramsay and Tim O’Connor
knocked in single runs.
Shaun Hanson led the Eagles (4-21, 1-11 GNAC) with
a two run double, while Mike Collette added two
hits, scored once, and knocked in a run.
Nick Culver took the loss (0-2), allowing the go-ahead
run on three hits in the seventh. Eagle starter Christal
Fitzgerald went four-plus innings, allowing six runs (five
earned) in five hits, walking three.
In the opener, Duplessis and Ward each notched three hits and scored
twice and Pybus knocked in two runs in the 9-1 victory.
NU hurler John Healy went the distance (3-2) tossing
a solid two-hitter with no earned runs over seven innings, striking
out 12 and walking five.
Casey Allan took the loss (1-6), allowing nine
runs (three earned), striking out eight and walking five.
Dave Shemella scored the Eagles lone run from third
on a throwing error in the fifth.
Norwich built a 2-0 lead after one, tacked on four on four hits
in the third including a Pybus two-run double, and the Cadets were
aided by two errors.
Daniel Webster hosts Southern Vermont Saturday at Noon, while Norwich
travels to Rivier Saturday at 11:00 a.m. in a doubleheader to be
played at Alvirne (NH) High School.
