Chelsea Bat Company blanks Waterbury Warthogs, 8–0
Chelsea Bat Company kept the bats quiet and pulled away late, defeating the Waterbury Warthogs 8–0 on June 8 in Vermont senior baseball action [1].Right-hander Brian Simoni was in command throughout, scattering five singles with one walk and one strikeout, leaning on a steady diet of ground-ball outs to finish the complete-game shutout [1].Waterbury starter Jason Gamelin matched zeros early, holding Chelsea scoreless through four with several strikeouts before the visitors broke the game open in the fifth. A flurry of contact, a hit batter, and defensive miscues fueled a five-run frame, and Chelsea tacked on insurance in the eighth and ninth to set the final margin [1].The Warthogs compete in the Vermont Senior Baseball League, representing Waterbury in the state’s senior circuit [2].
