Startford, CT — Newtown High School’s baseball team used its Braun — as in David Braun — to overpower Stratford with a 6-1 win at Penders Field on May 6. Braun pitched a complete game three-hitter, allowing only one unearned run, walking three, and striking out eight. Braun mixed and matched with his fastball, curve, slider, and changeup. “It’s always good to play your best and do your best for your team,” the pitcher said. “He was tremendous. He attacked the zone. He’s aggressive out there — doesn’t get rattled,” said Newtown Coach Ian Thoesen, who witnessed Braun pitch around four errors to shut down the Red Devils. Newtown had two hits and a run batted in off the bat of Tom Tavar, and got RBIs from Jack Petersen, Dylan Goyette, and Karl Miller. Grayson DeFelice and Goyette doubled, and Charlie Curtis tripled.
