Logan Cormier couldn’t be touched on the mound Friday afternoon for the Athol High School baseball team.
As part of a complete game effort, the senior set down 13 batters by way of the “K”, leading the Bears to a 1-0 victory over Lenox.
“Logan was in control today, and the boys were great behind him,” Athol coach Josh Talbot said. “He had four pitches working today and was able to go the distance without running his pitch count up.”
Cormier allowed just four base runners throughout the entire game, and each one had to earn their way on with a base hit as he didn’t surrender a single free pass.
As if he hadn’t done enough already, Cormier made sure to contribute to his own cause by scoring the game’s only run in the first inning when Eli Wein drove him in with an RBI single.
Working opposite of Cormier, Seamus Cooney was equally as dominant on the bump for Lenox, striking out nine in six innings of work while giving up only four hits and two walks.
With the win, Athol padded its lead in the Bi-County North standings by moving to 7-2. The Bears will host Bartlett High School on Saturday, May 3 at noon.
As for Lenox, the loss snapped what was a three-game winning streak for the Millionaires. Prior to being shut out by Athol, they had scored a combined 31 runs in their last three outings.
Lenox will visit Monument Mountain Regional on Monday, May 5 at 4:30 p.m.
