Sadly, Jack Doherty posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Phillips Exeter Academy over Varsity Opponent on Wednesday. Doherty turned in nothing short of a gem: he struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off six hits.
Doherty and Phillips Exeter Academy will be playing in front of their home fans against Deerfield Academy at 2:15 p.m. on Saturday. Phillips Exeter Academy will be headed into this one with a pretty big disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 34 places lower in their respective states), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Doherty? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
