Brookfield, CT — Stratford traveled up to Brookfield & ran into a Bobcats buzz saw as the home team filled throughout the lineup with seniors scored 13 runs in 5 inning shortened game. Brookfield also threw their ace Matt McDowell, a D-1 UConn commit who was very tough with his fastball & breaking pitch. Stratford tried two pitchers this Friday with Juniors Evan Wendland & Josh Tiberio splitting the game. Elijah Jimenez (single) , Ethan Hill (single) & Xavier Lendor (double) hit the ball hard for Stratford and it was Ethan Hill driving in Stratford’s lone run with Xavier Lendor scoring. On Monday Stratford returns to action at league opponent Joel Barlow. First pitch is set for 4:15.
