In the first inning, the Cardinals started off with a few hits and then shut the Buccaneers down on defense by allowing them to score only three runs. From the first inning, they were in control as they scored in almost every inning. During these ensuing innings, the team made clutch hits, played solid defense and had phenomenal pitching performances from both Raucci and fellow sophomore pitcher Jacob Gleason. “All around, it was probably our best game of the season, at the perfect time,” Raucci said. To the team, the championship victory was a welcome relief after a year that had a rough beginning. “We really came through as a group after a terrible preseason and a decent start to the regular season,” sophomore outfielder Tom Kroner said. “Then we came together and won the championship.” The boys will look to repeat another championship victory next season. The team will lose many crucial sophomore players to the varsity team, including Gleason, Raucci, Kroner, second baseman Eric Chong and first baseman Edward King. Next year, the JV team will rally with new members led by freshman shortstop Nick Magyari as well as freshman second baseman Max Lewin. Most Valuable Player The Lowell’s choice for MVP is sophomore pitcher and third baseman Jacob Gleason. He has pitched well consistently for the whole season, including the championship game. “He helped us to stay focused during most of our games,” Magyari said. “His combination of pitching and good defense helped us claim our title.” Share this article:           |
