RYAN AMES\/Staff Photo<\/p>\nGREENFIELD \u2014 Greenfield Post 81 stayed unbeaten after a 9-4 win over Belchertown Post 239 on Wednesday night at Veterans Memorial Field. Greenfield (4-0) scored six runs in the first inning to pull away early.<\/p>\n
Arthur Fitzpatrick got the win on the mound, pitching three innings. Fitzpatrick gave up four runs with five strikeouts in three innings of work. After walking consecutive batters in the fourth inning, Aidan Shea relieved Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n
\u201cArthur (Fitzpatrick) is a really great pitcher but I don\u2019t think he had his best stuff today,\u201d Greenfield coach Alex Siano said. \u201cScoring six runs in the first inning was a great buffer. I give Belchertown credit, they made a game out of it. When we got up by six runs I think we go a little relaxed in the field and and on the bases. I\u2019ve talked with the kids about that, you have to play all seven innings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shea pitched four innings, giving up only one hit in relief with four strikeouts.<\/p>\n
\u201cAidan was excellent,\u201d Siano said. \u201cI\u2019ve coached Aidan since he was nine years old on travel teams. He\u2019s always been a very, very consistent pitcher. He hammers the strike zone and as he\u2019s getting older he is getting stronger and throwing harder.\u201d<\/p>\n
After falling behind by six runs, Belchertown cut the lead down to three runs on two separate occasions but couldn\u2019t quite get itself all the way back into the game. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s one thing we talked about, not digging ourselves too big of a hole,\u201d Belchertown coach Todd McDonald said. \u201cIt was a pretty good game aside from that first inning. I was very pleased that we didn\u2019t roll over. We battled and put together some good at bats. We need to buckle down a little bit defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n
