Attleboro Swings Its Way Past Stoughton High Baseball

The was in action Wednesday afternoon, when they traveled to Attleboro to face the Blue Bombardiers. The Knights came into the game hoping to receive from senior captain Brian Kaplan.

Attleboro started the scoring leading 1-0, until a Pat Jackman single drove in senior Matt MacDonald to tie the game.

From there, the Bombardiers scored four unanswered runs in the 5th inning to advance the lead to 5-1. Kaplan tossed 4 and 2/3 innings allowing four runs. Senior Kenny Boykin entered in relief, allowing the other Attleboro run.

The Knights were able to add one more run in the top frame of the 7th (the final inning) to cut the deficit to 5-2, but the comeback rally fell short.

With the loss, Stoughton falls to 5-8, but the team still sits in second place in the Davenport Division, keeping its postseason hopes alive.

After the game junior Pat Jackman stated, "Tough game to lose today. We went out and played hard and the balls just weren't dropping in the right places for us. I thought Brian pitched great today, and put us in a great position to win. The bats just were not alive today. Going forward we will hopefully start to provide our pitchers with more run support."

Senior Jamie Connors added, "The effort was definitely their today. We played hard and some things just did not go our way. It was a tough game to lose, but we will be back at it and we just need to focus on the next one."

The Knights will look to bounce back Monday afternoon when they host Foxboro. The game at KP, originally scheduled for Saturday, May 5 has been postponed until Friday, May 11.
