Westfield Works Win on Warm Wednesday in S. Orange

Written by Whitney Bremer

Westfield White continued its hot streak Wednesday night with a victory against South Orange.

The ninth game action began with a left center double by Rinaldi. Following a walk by Barmakian, Rinaldi scored on a Bremer sack fly to center field, giving Westfield one run at the end of its first at-bat. With Barmakian at the mound, our defense then stepped into action. The Heinbokel-Rinaldi dynamic defensive duo thwarted a steal attempt at second and, although South Orange later managed to load the bases, Varakian at second base fielded a grounder and made the last out at first. 1-0 at the end of the first.
