The Morgan Huskies will challenge the Cromwell Panthers at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. The last three games Morgan has played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
Five must be Morgan's lucky number: they beat East Hampton with that score not once but twice on Thursday. The Huskies beat the Bellringers by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 5-4. The victory continues a trend for the Huskies in their matchups with the Bellringers: they've now won three in a row.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cromwell). They put the hurt on Somers with a sharp 10-3 win on Friday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Panthers.
James Vinchetti tossed a big game, tossing six innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Cromwell is 3-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 4-6-1 otherwise.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Tyler Bonelli, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Cromwell's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is undefeated (and 4-7-1 when he doesn't). Evan Ucol was another key player, going 1-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
The victory got Cromwell back to even at 7-7-1. As for Morgan, their win bumped their record up to 15-6.
Morgan beat Cromwell 6-3 in their previous meeting back in April. Do the Huskies have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Panthers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
