Baseball Falls to Hopkins

League rival Hopkins plated five runs in the first inning en route to a decisive 13-2 win over Brunswick in six innings on Tuesday. The 13-4 Bruins hold an FAA mark of 8-3, trailing first-place RCDS (7-2) as the 12-game regular season concludes this weekend.

Brunswick completes the regular season on Friday, May 12, hosting FAA foe Greens Farms on Senior Day.
 
Following the regular season, the top six teams of the seven-team league will play in a single-elimination tournament starting next week. The two teams with the best FAA regular-season records earn a bye to the semifinals on Wednesday, May 17, while the four remaining teams play a quarterfinal game on Monday, May 15. The title game is slated for Friday, May 19, at the highest remaining seed.
 
In Tuesday’s game, Hopkins sent nine batters to the plate during its five-run first inning.
 
Trailing 5-0, the Bruins got one run back in the bottom of the third, as Trystan Sarcone singled in Tommy Napolitano from second base. Napolitano singled earlier in the frame and stole second before getting home on the two-out RBI hit by Sarcone.
 
After Hopkins scored a run in the fourth inning to take a 6-1 lead, the visitors blew the game open with seven runs in the sixth inning to take a commanding 13-1 lead.
 
James Sassi knocked in a run in the bottom of the sixth for Brunswick, plating Sarcone with an RBI single and trimming the score to 13-2 after six innings. Since the Bruins could not get the deficit to under 10 runs, the game was called.
 
For the game, the Bruins committed seven fielding errors, leading to nine unearned runs. Starting pitcher J.D. Sparks (1-2) took the loss, allowing five earned runs over 5.0 innings, while reliever Nick Mosher pitched 1.0 inning and surrendered one earned run.
 
Five Bruins — Sarcone, Napolitano, Sassi, Ryan Hanrahan, and Aaron Sabato — each had a single, as Sarcone and Napolitano added an RBI.
