Hoosic Valley 13 HF 1
The Panthers struggled against Hoosic Valley last Thursday as the offense could only come up with one run and the defense sprung a few leaks. Hoosic Valley, taking advantage of five Panther errors, had no problem putting runs on the board. Kealan Hitt, somewhat unfairly, suffered the loss. Hitt only gave up one earned run.
Mt. Anthony 7 HF 5
Last Friday the Panthers went to Bennington to play the Mount Anthony Patriots. The Panthers came home on the losing end of a 7 – 5 score. Brandon Hodges pitched the complete game.
Granville 3 HF 2
On Tuesday the team went into the final inning tied with the Horde at 2 – 2, but Granville scored in the bottom of the seventh to get the win. Pitcher Kealan Hitt took the loss. Tyler Rondeau and Tom Peabody each hit a double.
