Winnisquam 20, Mascoma 9, 5 inn.

Key players: Winnisquam  – Ayden Cushing (2-for-4, double, 3 runs, 3 RBI), Alex Nichols (2-for-5, double, 2 runs, 2 RBI), Anthony Boomer (2-for-5, HR, 4 runs), Duncan Gosselin (2-for-2, 3 walks, 3 runs, 2 RBI), Brady Palmer (2-for-4, 2 runs, 4 RBI)

Highlights: Winnisquam scored three runs in each of the first four innings and plated eight more in the fifth to end the game early.

Coach’s quote: “We survived a shaky first two innings. We were down 7-6 after two, but the bats came alive. You wouldn’t think one of the key players in a game like this would be a pitcher, but Alex Nichols gave us much needed innings and pitched into the fifth. This was our seventh game in 11 days. It’s been a tough stretch. All the runs in the first were unearned. Alex hung in there and didn’t let it affect him.” – Winnisquam’s Fred Caruso

Records: Winnisquam 7-6; Mascoma 3-9
