In baseball, you have to get 3 outs every inning, through the last inning. There is no running out the clock or playing prevent defense.
Yesterday, I covered the number 32 ranked Foran High playing against number 9 Guilford high in the quarter finals of the CIAC Class L Baseball tournament. Guilford jumped out to 6-1 and 8-3 leads, before Foran came roaring back with 7 runs in the last two innings to advance to the semi-finals, 10-8.
Below, Guilford High’s Logan Hitchcock is greeted at home plate after his second homer of the game gave Guilford an 8-3 lead in the 5th inning.
Brett Huber’s seventh inning single put Foran High ahead to stay.
Foran High’s Nick Hartley is greeted by Anthony Turlis after recording the final out.
