Bonny Eagle spring sports review

Baseball

RECORD: 4-13

COACH: Shawn Holt

HIGHLIGHTS: The play of the underclassmen Kevin McDonough at shortstop, Ben Goss pitching and Nate Jewell at second were high points for us. And the very strong pitching we got from senior Peter Carter, who was third in the league in strikeouts, was a key for us, said Coach Holt. The Scots had some tough losses early, but came on strong late in the season and had wins over Kennebunk and Massabesic the last week of May.

SENIORS: Brett Brayley, Peter Carter, Nick Doyle, Chris Hurley, Zac Lurvey, Todd Nugent.

MVP: Peter Carter

COACH’S COMMENT: “It was a rebuilding year and, with fifteen sophomores in the program, the future looks promising.”
