Three-peat! Wrentham Baseball Captures Hockomock Diamond Division Championship
The town of Wrentham won the Hockomock Baseball Diamond Division Championship on August 2, 2013. This is the third year in a row Wrentham has won the league championship, this time beating Plainville 3-1. The game was led by the outstanding pitching performance of Gavin Adams, pitching a two hit, complete game. This has Gavin's third championship win in as many years. In addition to Gavin's outstanding pitching there were several key defensive plays contributing to the win. Playing short-stop, Tyler Durant showed his tremendous range by fielding a slow ground ball well on the first base side of second and from his knees, throwing out the runner at first. Another key defensive play came in the 5th inning when Tyler Chisholm hustled after an errant throw and fired a strike to third to nail the base runner trying to advance an extra base. With no out and Wrentham holding on to a thin lead, this was the key defensive play of the game. Winning the championship three years in a row in any league is not easy. These players are to be commended for their dedication, focus and outstanding play. Congratulations to the Wrentham Hockomock Diamond Division Champions of 2013!
