TIGERS BASEBALL 

Westfield Technical Academy 5, 

McCann Tech 4 (8 inn.)

Josh Sturmer clubbed a game-winning single to cap off a Westfield Tech comeback in extra innings at Bullens Field that helped the Tigers remain perfect (2-0) on the young season.

Tied 3-3 after seven innings, McCann took the lead with the aid of an unearned run in the top of the eighth. Westfield Tech freshman pinch hitter Ryan Major reached on a hit-by-pitch. Brandon Chapman was reinserted as a pinch runner and stole second base. With two outs, Devin Werbiskis (2-for-3, 2 runs, RBI) drove in Chapman with a double. Sturmer (2-4, double, 2 RBIs, run) delivered the game-winner with a single to left field.

Dacota Durkee (2-3) and Chapman each also had one RBI.

Westfield Technical Academy’s Brody Zabielski was impressive in relief duty, allowing just three hits, no earned, runs, and one walk. He struck out four. Congratulations! Go Tigers!
