With Killingly’s senior ace pitcher Bryan Albee back on the mound, he looked to continue his hot streak with double digit strikeouts. He took the mound against Plainfield in a close game the whole way and went out and struck out 11 Panthers batters. Killingly bested Plainfield 4-2. Killingly had help from Evan Zanauskas who ripped a double and drove in the game-tying run. Jacob Jones had a double to the wall, and Tyler Cournoyer added an RBI for the Redman. Hunter Yaworski laid down a bunt perfectly to reach base, and then scored on some miscommunication on a flyball behind second base. Plainfield got everything they could out of Izaiah Thompson who went perfect 3-3 with two runs batted in and a solo homerun to dead center. Killingly improve to 3-2, while Plainfield falls to 4-2.
