CANAAN, Conn. – Ninth grader Matt Lowe won his varsity debut on the mound Wednesday as the Mount Everett baseball team earned a 7-5 win over Housatonic Valley.
 
Lowe allowed two runs on two hits while striking out seven in five innings of work.
 
“Matt had control of the strike zone early and mixed his offspeed pitches well to keep them off-balance,” Eagles coach Dan Lanoue said. “Matt also helped himself in the second inning, getting an RBI single to put us up, 1-0.”
 
Nathaniel VonRuden went 4-for-4 with three doubles in an 11-hit Mount Everett attack and threw two innings of relief.
 
Ben Shannon was 2-for-4 for the Eagles (10-5).
 
“This was a great win for us, qualifying for the state tournament as we look to close out the season with the Bi-County South title,” Lanoue said.
 
Mount Everett goes to Lenox on Thursday.
