WALPOLE TEAMS SWEEP CRVBL WEEKEND GAMES
It was a great weekend for the town of Walpole in the Connecticut River Valley Baseball League, as the town’s two CRVBL teams were winners in the most recent league action.
The Walpole Wild Blue remained undefeated and tied with the Putney Fossils for the league lead, as the Wild Blue cruised to a 25-1 victory over Keene in a game played at Dummerston Field. Pitcher Ryan Kohler struck out 9 in four innings to get the win, while going three for four with four runs batted in at the plate. Other offensive stars included Jamie Spence, who went four for four with six RBI, Gary Dennis, who went three for five with four runs scored, and Chris Ballou, who crossed the plate six times.
Meanwhile in Walpole, Steve Corey, Sr. pitched a complete game, two-hit shutout to lead the Walpole Maples past the Brattleboro River Rats, 7 – 0. Ryan Paul banged out three hits and drove in a run, and Mike Michaud went three for five and scored a run.
There is just one game on the CRVBL schedule this weekend as the Sunapee Old Lakers host the defending CRVBL champion Claremont Cardinals at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. Admission to all CRVBL games is free, and to learn more about the region’s league for adult town teams, please visit the CRVBL website at www.crvbl.org .
