Sherman Pitches Taconic to 1-0 Road Win
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Sam Sherman struck out 12 and allowed just one hit Wednesday in leading the Taconic Thunder to a 1-0 win over Pope Francis.
Sherman got all the offensive support he needed in the top of the third, and he had a key hit to make it happen.
Bo Bramer got things started with a four-pitch leadoff walk. He then went to third on Sherman’s line-drive single.
After a fly ball for the first out, Sherman and Bramer executed a double-steal, the latter coming home with the only run of the game.
Nick Guachione and Stevie Zuccalo had the only other hits in a pitcher’s duel between Sherman and Brady DeBarge.
DeBarge struck out five in the loss.
Taconic (2-1) is back on the road Monday afternoon at Holyoke.
