Clippers down Wildcats, 7-3
By Stan Ross
YORK - The Wildcats baseball team ended its season at Yarmouth last Wednesday, May 30, but went down scrapping before losing to the Clippers (9-7) by the final score of 7 to 3.
Yarmouth opened the scoring with a single run in the second but York countered with two in the top of the third.
Gritty sophomore Jim Kennedy was on the mound for York with Jared Turner doing the catching.
The Clippers tallied again in the last of the third to even the score at 2-2. Then the Wildcats took the lead again with a single run in the top of the fifth, but the Clippers put the game away with four runs in the bottom of the fifth and another run in the sixth.
Dan Moran came in to pitch in relief for York in the fifth but the Wildcats could not rally again.
Turner led the York attack with a single and a double and Ryan MacGlashing recorded two singles.
The Final HEAL standings show York with a record of 6-10 and listed 12th, so they do not qualify for the playoffs this year.
York Coach Gordon Lewis commented that he will miss three starting seniors next year Moran, MacGlashing and Dan Graziano, but is looking forward to many good JV prospects.
The York JV baseball team finished 12-4 and featured good pitching and good defense.
Lewis added, "Spring Sports Awards night will be held on Monday, June 11, at 6:30 p.m. in the Robert E. Butler Gym at York High."
Lewis also announced that a Wells/York Legion baseball team will compete this year and that he expects that between six and eight York players will be included. Home games will be played at Wells High School.
