No. 2 Gilford 8,No. 3 Bishop Brady 2
Key players: Bishop Brady – Nick Grimbilas (4⅓ IP, 2 ER), Alex Andrews (3 hits, run), Connor Treybig (2 hits, 2 RBI), Kevin Anderson (hit, run)
Highlights: The Giants had two costly miscues in the first inning, resulting in four early runs for the Eagles, and Brady never fully recovered in its quarterfinal exit. Treybig drove home two runs on a bases-loaded single in the top of the third inning, but the Giants couldn’t close the gap any further, despite getting runners on base in the later innings.
Coach’s quote: “Nick (Grimbilas) gave us a decent start on the mound but we didn’t play good defense behind him. You can’t give good teams like Gilford extra outs in an inning. We also stranded tons of runners on base. I am still proud of the kids for a good season, but we just didn’t have a good day today.” – Bishop Brady’s Skip Foy
Records: Gilford 16-2; Bishop Brady 11-7
