“Our bats finally got going, and we’ve got momentum now.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head coach Aaron Baker was certainly pleased with his team’s performance after a 15-3 win in the Bellmont Braves’ sectional opener against Oak Hill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior first baseman Dylan Velez pounded out four hits for a 4 for 4 night with three runs scored and three driven in to lead the Braves at the plate. He had two doubles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beau Baker struck out eight in his six innings of work, allowing three earned runs. Baker also smashed a couple of doubles with the bat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The win sets up Bellmont with a rematch against Norwell (17-7) and will give them a chance to seek revenge on the Knights after a 6-1 loss back in April. The Braves were held to just two hits by Lane Lewis on April 25th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves are likely to go with Aidan Zimmerman Saturday considering Baker threw 114 pitches against Oak Hill and the fact that the Norwell Knights have already seen Baker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two top starters for Bellmont have similar ERAs (2.84 for Baker & 3.23 for Zimmerman) and Baker would then be available for an appearance in the Monday championship game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
