The bats came alive Wednesday night at Berkeley for the Varsity baseball team, but in the end the Knights came up short falling 10-9 in nine innings. Stratford had a season high 17 hits on the night and kept the pressure on the Stags. Ultimately Berkeley would score the winning run on a walk off single to center in the bottom of the ninth inning. Stratford returns to action Friday at home against Berkeley. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00 PM at Stratford.

Gavin Garcia and Reece Scarbrough also had multi hit nights with two a piece. Bryce Herpolsheimer had a two run home run for the Knights that gave the team a 7-3 lead after three and a half innings.
