They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 win over the Denbigh Patriots. This was a revenge game for the Bruins: when they faced off against the Patriots last Friday, they had to take a 8-2 defeat.
Conner Lamb made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in 11 consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Bethel's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 8-1 (and 3-9 when he doesn't).
