Coach’s quote: “A good team win against a good team! We tip our hat to Winnisquam, they are tough and resilient, and take after their coach (Fred Caruso). Sometimes things arise that are bigger than the game and I think both teams played hard and with class. A solid outing by Anakin Underhill to improve to 5-1 for his freshman campaign. Owen Waldron continues to pace us offensively. Couple that with some hits with runners on and we’re allowing ourselves to drive in runs and be competitive against quality teams.” – Belmont’s Matt LeBlanc
