VARSITY: JEFFERSON 0 VS MCLEAN 6
Published: 04/28/2008
The Colonials faced second place McLean and their ace
Sean Fitzgerald at McLean. In the top of the fifth inning the
Colonials were down 2-0 when TJ's pitcher, Mason Freedman, started
a two out rally with a walk. A subsequent two base error left
runners on second and third. Unfortunately, the Colonials were
unable to break through against Fitzgerald who pitched a complete
game one hitter against a depleted Colonial batting order. The
Colonials were missing their leadoff hitter, JB Vande Sand, number
three hitter Allan Allworth as well as Jon Wildes. Beau Pritchett
had the Colonials only hit, a line drive single to right field.
Mason turned in a solid outing, surrendering three runs on six hits
over five innings. Three of the hits were weak infield grounders.
He was supported well by a strong defense which included catcher
Matt Callahan throwing out two base-runners, a spectacular catch in
centerfield by Alex Radcliff, and five putouts at shortstop by Tom
Woodruff.
