Sandy Hook, CT — The Nighthawks overcame four errors against Stratford but couldn’t shake off three fielding miscues against Weston in a 4-3 nine-inning loss on May 7. The Nighthawks made some strong plays in the field, too, with first baseman throwing home to catcher DeFelice to nab a base runner trying to score in the opening inning, DeFelice throwing to second baseman Goyette to catch a would-be base stealer, and Braun making some solid plays at third base, including a dive to snare a slightly off-line throw from the outfield to save a run. Goyette doubled and drove in a run, and Miller had an RBI. It was 2-1 Newtown in the seventh, when Weston cashed in on some fielding mistakes to knot the score. Will Burns pitched into the eighth inning before exiting on a pitch count. He did not allow an earned run struck out nine. Weston managed one unearned run. The Trojans took a 4-2 lead in the top of the ninth. Newtown rallied, got a run closer, and left two men in scoring position. “It was a tough baseball game. Overall, we played well. We made a couple errors late that cost us,” Thoesen said.
