Baseball Recap: Verona Comes Up Short

Owen Akin made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with four RBI and one double. That double marked the first that he hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Triston Reed, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

As for Greenfield, they will venture away from home to take on Bradleyville at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Eagles have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.8 runs per game on average), something the Wildcats will no doubt try to take advantage of.
