Upper Valley Nighthawks 4, Sanford Mainers 1
The Upper Valley Nighthawks (18-12) became the first New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) team to reach 18 wins this summer and won their third straight ballgame with a victory over the visiting Sanford Mainers (8-18) on Friday night in White River Junction. This massive win for Upper Valley tied them with the Keene Swamp Bats for first place in the Northern Division. Nighthawks starting pitcher Cade Lommel (Creighton University) earned his first win of the summer in a dominant performance at home (5 innings pitched, 3 hits, 1 earned run, 3 walks, 3 strikeouts) while fellow starter Garret Keough (Georgetown University) suffered the loss for the Mainers (2.2 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 4 K). Connor Holden (Murray State University) secured the save for Upper Valley in his first appearance this season.
A two-run bottom of the third inning by Upper Valley that saw a sacrifice fly by right fielder Alan Roden (Creighton University) and a bases-loaded walk gave the ‘Hawks a comfortable, early lead in this matchup. Sanford drove home their sole run of the evening in the visitor’s half of the fourth inning with the help of an RBI by catcher Shane Paradine (Stony Brook University) to cut their deficit to just 2-1. An RBI double by Upper Valley third baseman Gehrig Anglin (Wright State University) in the home half of the fifth inning and a sacrifice fly from left fielder Andrew Walker (Xavier University) in the sixth capped off the scoring in this one and helped lead their home squad to victory.

Winnipesaukee Muskrats 6, North Shore Navigators 5
An early four-run inning by the Winnipesaukee Muskrats (11-17) helped lead them to victory over the visiting North Shore Navigators (13-12-2) who have now lost three straight ballgames and are slipping in the Northern Division standings. Muskrats starting pitcher Justin Murray (Dartmouth College) tossed nearly seven crucial innings to earn his fourth win of the summer (6.2 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K) and fellow starter Zach Chappell (University of North Florida) was handed the loss for the Navigators on the road (4.1 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 8 K). Anthony Hattrup (University of Dayton) recorded the save for Winnipesaukee.
North Shore scored first in the opening inning by way of a solo homer from first baseman Logan Bravo (Harvard University), but a four-run home half of the second that saw an RBI single from first baseman Josh Petrucci (University of Massachusetts Amherst) and a three-run longball by left fielder Kevin Catrine (University of North Carolina Asheville) quickly gave the Muskrats a 4-1 edge. A wild pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning recorded another run for Winnipesaukee and another solo homer from Navs second baseman Jacob Gustin (Bryant University) brought the score to 5-2.
Another RBI by Catrine scored the final run for the ‘Skrats in the sixth inning in this affair, which thus began North Shore’s comeback in the late innings. An RBI single by shortstop Jonathan Luders (Seton Hall University) tallied a run for the Navigators in the top of the seventh and a two-run dinger by center fielder Joe Lomuscio (Stanford University) in the eighth capped off the scoring in this ballgame to make it a nail-biter of a ninth inning that would eventually amount to nothing for the visitors.

Bristol Blues 7, Mystic Schooners 2
The visiting Bristol Blues (9-19) won their fourth straight contest with a victory over the Mystic Schooners (13-14) at Fitch High School on Friday night. Blues starting pitcher Dominic Agron (Wofford College) tossed his second scoreless and magnificent outing in a row to propel his team to another win (5 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K) and fellow starter Sean Sposato (University of Rhode Island) bore his second loss of 2021 for the Schooners (4 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 3 K).
A top of the second inning RBI from Bristol left fielder Anthony Galason (Elon University) gave the visiting team an early 1-0 advantage on the road, and a proceeding two-run home run by designated hitter Chris Davis (Duke University) extended his squad’s lead to 3-0 through three innings. Center fielder Austin White (Coastal Carolina University) tallied another run for the Blues by way of an RBI double in the fourth inning, and a wild pitch paired with an RBI double by first baseman Brennen Dorighi (Wofford College) brought the Blues’ lead to 7-0 in the seventh inning of action.
Mystic finally got themselves on the board in the home half of the eighth inning courtesy of a bases-loaded walk followed by a bases-loaded wild pitch, but it would not be enough to overpower the red-hot Blues.

Ocean State Waves 10, Martha’s Vineyard Sharks 9
The Ocean State Waves (11-16) snapped their three-game losing skid with a win over the visiting Martha’s Vineyard Sharks (17-12) in a high-scoring affair at Old Mountain Field on Friday night. Waves starting pitcher Nathan Stahl (Indiana University) tossed four solid innings at home in his second appearance of the summer (4.2 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 6 K) and fellow starter Oliver McCarthy (Duke University) threw four complete for the Sharks in a bit of a rough outing (7 H, 5 ER, 0 BB, 2 K). Shaun Gamelin (Rhode Island College) secured the save for Ocean State.
The Waves crashed for four runs in the bottom of the third inning with the help of an error, an RBI single by catcher Johnny Tuccillo (Stony Brook University) and a two-run homer by first baseman Xavier Vargas (University of Rhode Island) to take an early and seemingly comfortable 4-0 lead. An RBI base hit from third baseman Luis Atiles (Lenoir-Rhyne University) extended Ocean State’s lead to 5-0, but Martha’s Vineyard brought themselves within one run thanks to a four-run top of the fifth inning of their own that featured a two-run dinger by first baseman Ryan Hernandez (University of Houston).
The Sharks exploded for five runs in the visitor’s half of the sixth highlighted by a bases-loaded walk and a monster grand slam by Hernandez, his second longball in just two innings to make the score 9-5 in favor of the Vineyard. The Waves had their own comeback in the remaining innings beginning in the bottom of the sixth via a wild pitch. Three runs crossed home plate in the seventh inning to tie the ballgame up at nine runs apiece with the help of a two-run single by Tuccillo and an error. An RBI single by Tuccillo in the bottom of the eighth helped give his home team the lead and propel them to victory on their home turf.

North Adams SteepleCats 9, Keene Swamp Bats 8
The North Adams SteepleCats (14-11-2) won their third straight contest in a walk-off victory over the visiting Keene Swamp Bats (17-11), placing themselves second in the Northern Division, just 1.5 games back of the Swamp Bats and Upper Valley Nighthawks who are tied for the top spot. SteepleCats’ starting pitcher Jordan Yoder (Lafayette College) threw five innings for the victorious home team (7 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 K) while fellow starter Gage Bradley (Vanderbilt University) was roughed up by North Adams (1.2 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 4 BB, 0 K).
Keene got themselves on the board first in the top of the opening inning with the help of a two-run double by third baseman Troy Schreffler (University of Maryland), but the ‘Cats quickly stormed back to take the lead in the bottom half courtesy of a wild pitch and a two-run single from center fielder Justin Grech (Lafayette College). Three more runners crossed home plate for North Adams in the home half of the fourth inning by way of an RBI single by left fielder Charles Middleton (University of the Pacific), another from shortstop Jon Kozarian (Slippery Rock University) and another RBI by Grech to make it 6-2 in favor of the ‘Cats.
The Swamp Bats tallied two runs of their own in the visitor’s half of the fifth inning via a sacrifice fly by center fielder Michael Nyisztor (Rutgers University) and an RBI base hit from left fielder Thomas Joseph (Jacksonville University) to bring their squad within two runs, but North Adams tallied another run in the bottom of the sixth courtesy of an error to make it 7-4. Keene tied the ballgame up at seven in the top of the eighth thanks to a sacrifice fly and two RBI singles by second baseman Zach Bushling (University of Connecticut) and Nyisztor and one in the ninth inning from right fielder Matt Almonte (Pace University) to take the lead. However, the SteepleCats tied it up again with an RBI base hit from third baseman Lucas Donlon (Virginia Tech University) and walked it off with an RBI by first baseman John Marti (University of Albany).

Danbury Westerners 11, Newport Gulls 7
The Danbury Westerners (14-11) defeated the Newport Gulls (16-13) and handed them their sixth straight loss plus pushed them down to tied third place in the Southern Division standings on Friday night at Cardines Field. Westerners starting pitcher Sean Hogan (Williams College) threw four innings at home (4 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K) while fellow starter Ethan Hoopingarner (University of Southern California) lasted just three for the Gulls (6 H, 5 ER, 5 BB, 4 K).
Danbury got on top quickly in the top of the first inning with three runs highlighted by a two-run single from second baseman Banks Griffith (Stetson University). Four runs from Newport in the home half of the third inning gave them a 4-3 edge featuring a two-run homer from catcher Matthew Wood (Pennsylvania State University) but four runs from the Westies gave the visiting team a 7-4 lead with the help of three bases-loaded walks and another RBI from Griffith. Danbury tallied two more in the visitor’s half of the fifth by way of an RBI single by catcher Jack Payton (University of Louisville) and an error to bring their lead to 9-4.
A two-run home run by Westerners left fielder Henry Strmecki (University of Dayton) in the top of the sixth inning finished his team’s scoring for the night, but the Gulls were not going down without a fight the rest of the way. Three runs scored in the bottom of the sixth thanks to an RBI double by center fielder Kenny Oyama (Loyola University) and an error followed to make it a four-run contest, but that would be all she wrote in this one.
