Brewster Bears allow a single run in last five baseball games

BREWSTER – The Bears varsity baseball team is still looking for an opponent that can play them toe-to-toe but haven’t found one in its last three outings that included a pair of doubleheaders.

Since hosting Okanogan on March 23, the Bears have given up a single run while scoring several double-digit innings in lopsided wins against both Bridgeport and Waterville-Mansfield.

The Bears hosted the Shockers in a doubleheader last Saturday, March 30, and put up numbers that approached school history proportions, including a school record 32 runs batted in (RBI), coach Todd Phillips said.

Six Bears combined for 13 extra base hits for doubles or better. Joe Taylor slapped two triples and a double, Connor Ashworth, Kade Kelpman, Logan McGuire; Isaac Baker each connected for doubles in pairs; Corey Jarrell added a triple and Mason Kelly a double.

Bridgeport who played Brewster in a doubleheader four days earlier traded a run for a hammering on the scoreboard. The Mustangs squeaked out the only run against Brewster in the past five games.

The Bears were scheduled to host 1A Meridian of the Northwest Conference on Thursday, April 4, and will host Liberty Bell at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 10.
