After a successful Disney trip in which the team went 9-1 in scrimmages, the varsity and JV baseball teams secured victories on the road at Central Square on Tuesday afternoon. The JV team won 16-0 and the varsity team won 9-2.

The varsity team started a little slow out of the gate, but came on in the last three innings to put away Central Square. Pitchers Gavin Miller (4.0 IP, 2 H, 4 BB, 6 K) and Colin Ray (3.0 IP, 2 H, 3 BB, 5 K) gave up only one unearned run a piece and only 2 hits each. Miller got the win on the afternoon.

The Bees' offense was quiet for the first four innings but took the lead in the top of the fifth. Down 1-0, Josh Leonard singled to deep short for an infield hit to start the inning. After a strikeout during which Leonard moved to third on a stolen base and a wild pitch, Aiden Milburn singled to left field to score Leonard to tie the game, 1-1. Braden Seeber then followed with a double to left, which scored Milburn, as the Bees took a lead they would never relinquish.

In the next inning, the Bees took a commanding lead. Luca Beals started the inning with a double to left field. Evan Kinville was hit by a pitch and Leonard reached on an error by the pitcher on a sacrifice bunt attempt, which loaded the bases. With Jacob Penafeather up, Beals scored on a wild pitch and Kinville then scored on a sacrifice fly to left by Penafeather. Milburn then scored Leonard with a single to left, and after moving over to second and third on stolen bases, Milburn scored on another wild pitch to make the score 6-1.

In the top of the seventh, pinch hitters Caleb Way and Nico Wellman had singles and Leonard drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and Seeber drove in two more runs with a single down the third base line. The score was 9-1.

Central Square scored an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh on an error to yield the final score of 9-2.

Milburn was the hitting star of the afternoon with five hits and two RBIs. Seeber added two hits and had three RBIs.

The Bees play on Thursday at Fayetteville-Manlius at 5:00 p.m.
