Baseball Completes Regular Season, FAA Tourney Next

Brunswick finished the 2017 regular season with an 8-2 loss to league rival Greens Farms on Senior Day on Friday. Despite the setback, the Bruins earned the second seed in the upcoming FAA tournament and have an opening-round bye. Brunswick (13-5, 8-4) will host a semifinal game on Wednesday, May 17.
 
Of note, a total of 22 walks were surrendered in the game, as Brunswick drew a dozen free passes, while the Dragons earned 10 walks.
 
With his team trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Ryan Harteveldt drove in the tying run with a sac-fly to center, plating Ethan Hynes from third.
 
The game stayed knotted at 1-1 until each team scratched a run across in the fifth inning. Greens Farms added an unearned run in the top of the frame for a 2-1 lead, but Hardeveldt answered with a two-out, bases-loaded walk in the home half of the frame.
 
In a 2-2 game in the top of the sixth, the Dragons blew the game open with six runs on six hits and took an 8-2 lead on the Bruins.
 
Brunswick put a pair of runners on base in both the sixth and seventh innings, but could not push any across the plate, falling 8-2.
 
With the 12 walks, including three free-passes to Aaron Sabato, the Bruins got on base in every inning. However, the Bruins managed just two singles (Patrick Ryan and Santiago Riera) against the Greens Farms trio of pitchers.
 
Brunswick starter Michael Beninati went 5.0 innings, allowing one earned run with four strikeouts. Reliever Nick Mosher (1-2) pitched 0.2 innings, while Sabato made his 2017 pitching debut, tossing the final 1.1 innings of scoreless ball for the Bruins and adding a strikeout.
