With only a split second to react, Burrows threw his glove in front of his face and snared the ball as he fell backward, avoiding serious injury. “I didn’t have my best stuff, and they stung a few hits.”īurrows knows how hard one that was not a hit was belted when Braden Dromboski sent a screaming line drive back at the pitcher’s head in the fifth inning. “They put the bat on the ball and put it where our fielders weren’t,” said Post 414’s Chase Burrows, a 17-year-old left-handed pitcher who went six innings, striking out six, in the first game. In the sixth, Shumard singled in Connor Parsons before opening scoring in the second game with an RBI single in a six-run second inning. He led off the fifth with a single and scored on a double by Kevin Stewart. In the second inning of the first game, Shumard singled with two outs to score Ryan Kochie (double). That approach was tremendous since Shumard was 5-for-5 through the two games until grounding back to the pitcher in the fourth inning of the five-inning second game. Don’t want to make the game too confusing.” So I just relaxed when I went up there and kept things simple.
“It was fun,” said Shumard, a 16-year-old who just finished his sophomore year at Rancocas Valley High.
So when No 8-hitting second baseman Logan Shumard and No.9-hitting catcher Nick Filipponi combined to produce 10 hits and seven runs batted in over the course of a doubleheader with second-place Lawrence Post 414 Saturday at Mike Pezzicola Field in Eggerts Crossing (Central) Park, it was easy to understand why Post 26 came away with a pair of wins (7-2 and 11-1) to improve to 15-0 on the season and increase their Mercer County American Legion League lead to four games.Ĭonsidering Shumard and Filipponi are not regulars in Bordentown’s everyday lineup shows everyone how deep this squad has become. When the bottom of its lineup produces, the already tough Bordentown American Legion Post 26 baseball team is even stronger.
