Golden Eagles Win First of the Season
Bennington, NY- The Glens Falls Golden Eagles opened their road campaign with a win over the host Bennington Bombers by a score of 7-4. The win gives Glens Falls a 1-1 record on the young NYCBL season.
Starting pitcher Will Hassett (Siena) went five innings, allowing only one run and scattering seven hits while striking out three. Billy Barrett (Illinois) tossed the last four innings for the Golden Eagles.
Despite being out-hit 14-10 by the Bombers, the Golden Eagles made the most of their opportunities. The green and yellow took the lead in a four-run fourth inning highlighted by a two-run single from shortstop Curt Courtwright (Missouri State).
The rest of the Golden Eagles offense came on a seventh inning run-scoring single by rightfielder Anthony Giansanti (Siena) and a Kody Johnson (Pima CC) run-scoring triple in the ninth. Glens Falls also scored a run on an error in the ninth inning. Second baseman Jon Koscso (South Florida) joined Courtwright, Giansanti and Johnson with two hits apiece. The other Golden Eagle hits came from the bats of centerfielder Chad Stang (Midland) and Todd Brazeal (South Florida).
The Golden Eagles are next in action tomorrow, Sunday, June 8 as they play host to their I-87 rival Saratoga Phillies at 5 p.m. at East Field.
