LUDLOW – For one team, it truly was a walk in the park.
Ludlow drew a walk-off walk in the bottom of the seventh inning to beat visiting Westfield 2-1 in a high school baseball opener Thursday at Whitney Park.
Westfield pitcher Brent Houle delivered a solid effort on the mound, but the team fell just short. Chris Sullivan (2-for-4), Craig Lacey (2-for-2), and Matt Bruno (2-for-3) each collected two hits for the Bombers (0-1).
Westfield returns to action Monday against the Purple Knights at Mackenzie Field in Holyoke. First pitch is at 4 p.m.
