Bacon Academy will be tough to reckon with when UConn-bound senior Dave Mahoney takes to the mound.
But as Waterford proved on Monday, the Bobcats are vulnerable when he’s not.
“We have to find a No. 2 and a No. 3 pitcher,” Bobcats coach Dave Shea said. “We’re going to put some other guys out there on Wednesday (at home against Griswold) and see what they can do.”
Bacon Academy lost their second and third pitcher from last season to graduation and “have to keep experimenting” according to Shea.
The Bobcats found themselves in trouble early against the Lancers, the No. 5 ranked team in the state in the New Haven Register’s preseason media poll.
Waterford scored three runs in the first inning without a hit and added three more prior to the fifth inning. That’s when they put nine batters to the plate without making an out , getting help from four Bacon errors which broke open a close game.
