WESTFIELD – Daryl Reopel, Josh Sturmer, Trent Adam, and Dakota Durkee had one hit apiece for the Westfield Technical Academy baseball team; and Brody Zabielski scattered five hits, three walks, and four runs over seven complete innings, while striking out 11 batters to lead the Tigers (12-4 overall, 5-1 Tri-County), who struck back against the St. Mary Saints – and cancer.
Westfield Tech won 7-4 over St. Mary’s in a cancer benefit game Monday night at Bullens Field.
Hayden Lussier went 2-for-3 with a double for St. Mary’s. Saints’ Aidan Burke, Brady Collins, and Everett Stec had one hits apiece.
“It was two-fold for us,” Westfield Tech coach Bob Eak said. “One, we were raising money for cancer awareness, collaborating with another local team. …Second, it was a little bit of revenge. They beat us 23-3 last year. It was one of our games we thought was a must win against a local rival.”
Both teams participated in fundraising efforts centered around the game, raising money for the D’Amour Center for Cancer Care at Baystate Health in Springfield.
