Keene Swamp Bats News Release
KEENE N.H.- The Keene SwampBats notched their second consecutive win on the year, soundly beating the Vermont Mountaineers 12-4. The big story of tonight's game was the defensive mishaps for Vermont. The Mountaineers had five total errors. Two of those errors came from Vermont's starting catcher Liam McGilln on two separate throws down to second base on steal attempts, allowing two runs to score in the bottom of the first.
The SwampBats when on to score 4 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Keene then tacked on 6 more runs in the bottom of the sixth after three more errors by Vermont. Andrew Houde, the winning pitcher, came in relief for the SwampBats starter Colby Dunlop. Houde gave up one run on one hit, a solo home run by Straton Podasta in the top of the 5th inning. The losing pitcher, Vermont's Zach Lutner, gave up 2 runs over 2 2/3 innings.
The SwampBats head to New Bedford tomorrow to take on the Bay Sox. The Mountaineers next game is on Monday, June 11th, in North Adams against the SteepleCats.
