JV Baseball Beats Staples

by Conor Davey

The Darien High School Junior Varsity Baseball team travelled to Westport to take on the Staples Wreckers on Tuesday, May 20th, 2014. With the game being rained out two weeks prior, the Blue Wave had to deal with playing three games in three days since they already had games scheduled for Monday and Wednesday.  The JV squad came into the game looking to add on to their successful season and most definitely made an emphatic statement.

Sophomore Andrew Winsch started on the mound for Darien and did a tremendous job, to say the least, allowing only five hits. Winsch ended up pitching a complete game shut-out and has continued his dominance that began on the first game of the season. At a hitting standpoint, junior TJ Adiletta led the Blue Wave, going 2-3 with two doubles and four RBI’s. Freshmen Casey Burke also had a solid day at the plate by also hitting two doubles. The high-powered Darien offense was too much for the Staples team to handle, with them succumbing to the pressure and crumbling.

When asked about the game, Adiletta said, “It was a well-played game for us and Winsch did an excellent job on the hill.

Come support the JV Baseball team’s last game against the Stamford Knights on Friday, May 23, 2014!

Adiletta cheers on his team enthusiastically during the game
against Norwich Free Academy earlier in the season.
