It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Thornton Academy had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 win over the Gorham Rams. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 11-9 back in May.
Beck Edgerly spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned runs on eight hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
