Ohlmann and Raymond Throw Complete Games in Sweep of Northern Essex CC

HAVERHILL, MA – (April 18, 2008) Liam Ohlmann (Wallingford/Choate) scattered five hits over five innings as MCC beat Northern Essex CC 12-1 in game one and Jeff Raymond (Hebron) completed the sweep with a seven-inning complete game in a 3-2 victory in the nightcap in Haverhill, MA.

Raymond (5-0) struck out eight and allowed two unearned runs in the seventh. Neither pitcher walked a batter. Ohlmann’s game was called after five innings because of the mercy-rule — MCC was leading by at least ten runs after five innings. Ohlmann struck out five and is now 4-1 on the season.

Kevin Clements (Vernon) led the way in game one with two hits and three RBI while Bryan Hager (Burlington) went 2 for 4 with a pair of runs scored. Pedro Acevedo (New Britain) was 2 for 2 with a runs scored and Ari Rostowsky (West Hartford) and Aaron Guilbeault (Lebanon) each had a hit and two runs scored.

MCC improves to 17-5-2 on the season, but more importantly, the sweep lifts the Cougars to 8-2 a record in Region XXI Division III play.

In the second game, Hager (2 for 4) drove in Guilbeault (2 for 2) with the Cougar’s third and eventual deciding run with a single in the sixth. Peter Burgio (Bolton) also had an RBI single in the sixth. The first MCC run was scored on a passed ball in the fifth.

MCC is plays a pair of double-headers at home on Saturday April 19th and Sunday April 20. Massasoit CC visits McCormick Complex Saturday for a pair of Region XXI division games while Ulster County makes the trip from Stone Ridge New York Sunday for two non-division games.
