Lancers Come Up Short

The Norton Lancers baseball team played Medfield this past Wednesday. The boys played well, but ended up losing in thirteen innings. At the early stages of the game, Medfield had 7 errors before the fourth inning. The score was 8-1 in the fifth, runs generating from Andrew Veglas' two run homerun and other key at bats and hits by Brad Wry, Shinnosuki Furukawa, Mike Travers, and Ryan McKenney. Medfield was not completely giving up though. In the sixth and seventh they scored 9 runs making the score 10-8. The Lancers then scored 2 runs to solidify a tie, and ultimately extra innings. For six straight innings it was a scoreless, tight game. It was a pitching battle with Norton's Jon  Levy, and Medfield's ace. This game went until the thirteenth inning, when Medfield hit two singles and a double to win 11-10. It was a competitive, fun game to watch, and the Lancers are back at it this week with Ashland, Millis, and Seekonk.
