Yesterday was undoubtedly B-A’s best day of hitting so far this season. Leading this day of big hits was freshman Cam Swogger, who batted an astonishing .750 by going 3-for-4, which scored him 3 RBIs and 2 runs of his own.
Alongside Cam, his cousin Tanner Swogger, Josh Doriminy, and Matt Berkowitz all went 2-for-4 and added another 6 runs.
B-A added 3 stolen bases on the night courtesy of juniors Josh Dorminy and Zach Pier, and senior Nick Kost.
Chris Walls got the pitching victory to improve to 2-1. He fanned 9 batters and allowed just 2 earned runs while pitching a complete game.
BA will host the 4-2 West Branch Warriors tomorrow Thursday at 4:30.
