If there's one thing you should bring with you when you go to a game down in Southeast Connecticut this time of year- it's a jacket.
The sun was shining brightly on Monday afternoon down in Groton, but it did little to account for the chill coming off the water.
That left those who were sitting in the bleachers and chairs along the sidelines at Sutton Park in Groton huddled under blankets and heavy jackets to watch the Fitch Falcons blank the NFA Wildcats 2-0 in an early season ECC Large Division matchup.
The win for the Falcons should come as no surprise, many had them picked as the team to beat in the ECC. The Falcons have one of the best and most experienced pitchers, Kristina Torres, in the circle. They also have a tough lineup headed by Brittany Duclos and Arielle Cooper.
Fitch also had a secret weapon on Monday.
Brianna Turgeon may only be a freshman, but as coach Jon Grossman pointed out, she has a good pedigree for the sport. Turgeon, batting third for Fitch, delivered the game-winning two-run triple in the fifth inninng for the Falcons.
