WESTFIELD – No it was not the drama club, but the Westfield High School baseball team took part in a long, drawn out thriller Friday.
Cody Neidig plated Kenny Mclean for the game-winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning for a 1-0 win over Central Friday at Bullens Field. Mclean reached base in the inning for the team’s first hit of the game.
“The Bombers only had two hits, but made the most of it,” Westfield coach Rich Discenza said.
Matt Irzyk pitched a gem on the mound for Westfield. Irzuk scattered six hits, striking out 13 batters and walking one.
