AMHERST – The defending Western Massachusetts Division I baseball champs will get a chance to defend their crown.

Westfield pitcher Matt Irzyk tossed a gem on the mound against Amherst. Irzyk allowed three hits, struck out nine batters, and walked three. He retired seven of the final eight batters he faced.
Chris Sullivan (2-for-3, double, triple, 3 RBIs) and Tim Donahue (2-4, RBI) led the Bombers at the plate.
