Saturday, April 13th, the Barons won a slugfest against Damascus with a 19-10 final. The offense was rolling all afternoon, Senior Adam Niman had four hits, including a home run, four RBI’s, and three runs, and was aided by home runs from Junior Trent Lopez, and Senior Pierce Tewksbury. Senior Andy Flynn, Niman, Tewksbury, and Lopez all totaled two stolen bases each.

The Barons put up more than two runs in each inning played, and the mercy rule came into play to end it in the 5th.
On Thursday, April 18th, the Barons won arguably their biggest game of the season, taking down the state champion favorites, Walter Johnson, 8-5. The Barons came out swinging, and in the second inning broke loose with 6 runs to quickly make the lead big. They added to that lead in the 4th inning with 2 clutch runs to make the lead 8-0. The Barons lead for the whole afternoon, thanks largely to Junior Henry Eirchner, who threw 6.1 innings of 3 run baseball. Adam Niman also collected the final out and the save, along with two hits and two RBI’s. Will Adkinson collected 2 RBI’s. This win over Walter Johnson put B-CC in serious talks for state title contention.
