The home team had come away the winner the last six times Westfield and Summit had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Blue Devils walked away with a 6-3 win over the Hilltoppers on Friday. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 5-1 back in April.
Grant Como spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up six Ks. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jordan Walsh, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. Another player making a difference was Charlie McCormack, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
