HopkintonA

Today was another terrific game for HopkintonA! The Hillers knocked off the first place MendonA team 8-1, advancing to Round3 of the playoffs! Even though the Hillers' bats weren't as hot as they were on Saturday, the team had 9 hits spread between 5 players. Mike Hanewich went 3 for 3 with 2 singles and a triple and scored 3 times. Connor Farrell went 2 for 3 with a single and a double, scoring twice. Shane Scannell was 2 for 3 with 2 singles. Vincent Doyle was 1 for 2 getting a single with the bases loaded with 2 outs. Last but not least, Nick Marchessault had a great line drive right down the middle - Great job Nick! Although everyone played very well tonight, Shane Scannell had an unbelievable game all around! Shane pitched all 6 innings, and only gave up 1 run to MendonA! Shane struck out 5, but also took part on 8 more outs on the field. Twice during the game, he caught line drives that were hit at him, and made a double play by throwing out the runner at first! The Hillers fans were out in numbers today, with lots of relatives, and HopkintonB and Tondorf9 players cheering on their friends. Thanks for the support! Once again, the boys should be proud of themselves for playing so hard and keeping their heads in the game at all times! HopkintonA will face FranklinA on Tuesday in Round3 of the playoffs. Go Hillers!
