JV Baseball v. Mohawk

On Friday, The Mohawk Regional Warriors from Shelburne Falls arrived on Pocumtuck Mountain with an unblemished 6-0 record. The Eaglebrook team took a quick one run lead in the bottom of the first inning, led by the running of Noah Cisse and hitting of Ryan Gravina. In the top of the second, Mohawk tied up the game on a couple of hits and a walk. In the bottom of the second, the Brookies scored two more runs to take a 3-1 lead. Unfortunately, starting hurler Johnny Curtis was hit by a pitch and had to leave the game with a badly bruised right forearm. J.P. Schuhlen was called upon to take over the pitching duties from Curtis. Schuhlen held the Warriors at bay until the forth inning when J.P. felt a sharp pain in his pitching arm, giving up two runs before getting out of the inning. The Eaglebrook boys were not to be denied in front of the large hometown crowd. Kelly Killeen, Schuhlen, and Cisse squeezed out two runs off the excellent Mohawk pitcher to lead Eaglebrook to a 5-3 advantage. Brett Miner took over on the mound and shutdown the Mohawk offense for last three innings, to preserve the win ,5-4. The Eaglebrook team played outstanding defense lead by Brady Collins behind the plate, Zach Leeds at shortstop, Ben Rowland at second base, Mark Gravina at first and Noah Cisse in centerfield. Eaglebrook is now the only undefeated team in the league with a 2-0-1 record.
