Baseball Game Preview: Sutton Sammies/Suzies vs. Worcester Tech Eagles

The Sutton Sammies/Suzies will take on the Worcester Tech Eagles at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Sutton fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against South on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Colonels by a score of 8-7.

Jackson Kehowski made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one RBI.
