Deven Dubie was in the zone on the mound for the Greenfield baseball team on Friday against Easthampton. 

The junior went the distance for the Green Wave — his first full game pitching at the varsity level — striking out nine, walking four and giving up just four hits as Greenfield needed just one run in the sixth to walk away with a 1-0 Suburban League West victory at Vets Field. 

“For his first full game he did an outstanding job for us,” Green Wave coach Tom Suchanek said. “He threw strikes and kept us in the game.” 

With the game tied 0-0 going into the bottom of the sixth, Dubie decided to help himself out by getting on with a base hit. The Eagles tried to pick him off at first but the throw went out of play, allowing him to get on third. Jackson Campbell came to the plate and hit a slow roller that got by the pitcher and nobody could make a play on it, allowing Dubie to score and giving Greenfield the first and only run of the game. 

Michael Pierce also had a hit for the Green Wave. It was Topher Reardon who kept the Greenfield lineup at bay, going six innings, allowing just the three hits and one walk while striking out eight. 

Anthony Incampo knocked a single and a double while Zak Thibodeau and Jake Kostek hit safely in the loss.  

Hopkins 10, Frontier 5 — It all fell apart for the Redhawks in the seventh inning. 

Frontier held a 5-1 lead going into the final frame but due to errors and the the Golden Hawks’ bats coming alive, Hopkins put nine runs on the board to take a 10-5 lead. The Redhawks were unable to answer in the bottom of the seventh, with the Golden Hawks coming away with a Suburban League West victory in South Deerfield. 

“I have to tip my cap to Hopkins,” Frontier coach Chris Williams said. “I always preach putting the ball in play and they gave us a first-hand experience of how that goes.” 

Tyler Cusson knocked a double that brought in a pair of runs for Frontier. Alex Gochinski had a pair of hits and an RBI, Nico Fasulo knocked two hits while Eathon Bryant, Wyatt Edes and Aiden West hit safely in the loss. Liam Skribiski-Banack tossed six innings for the Redhawks, strikin gout eight. 

Pat Fitzgibbons knocked a big double for the Golden Hawks in the seventh. 

Hampshire 12, Athol 2 (5) — The Bears started hot, putting two runs on the board in the top of the first, but were unable to muster another run while the Raiders tallied one in the first, six in the second and five in the third to come away with a Suburban League West win in Westhampton on Friday. 

Logan Cormier opened the game with a single, stole second and was driven in by Shea Brennan. Brennan then worked his way around the bases and made it home on an error to give the Bears a 2-0 lead.
