Varsity Baseball v. Deerfield Academy

On Wednesday, April 27th the Varsity Baseball team conspired to give Coaches Connor and Mones collective heart attacks as they played a game with hard-hitting Deerfield Academy on the Door's beautiful varsity field down in the valley. At first there was a hint of a pitching duel, a welcome angle in the rain and wind, but before long, it became apparent that offense would lead the charge. Eaglebrook took the lead, then relinquished it, then fell behind, then took the lead, then gave it up heinously, then scored 8 runs in the top of the final inning and produced a miraculous relief effort in the bottom to secure the win. It was 18-16. There were plenty of heroes who would love to be mentioned in public for their incredible stats and well timed defensive plays, but the coaches are far more interested in the overall team effort and thus, will let the players tell the stories of their own successes. Suffice it to say that this was the most ugly and beautiful baseball game, perhaps ever played. And we were proud of the players.
