GAME OF THE DAY

Some late inning fireworks, in the form of a three-run homer by Kevin Woodcock, coupled with less than perfect defensive play led to an 8-7 comeback win for the Coventry baseball team over Pilgrim. Down three runs in the bottom of the seventh, Joe Gardner singled and Steve Alben reached on an error before Woodcock came to the plate and tied it up with one swing. After a walk and another error, Nick Ziehl lined a shot to the wall, scoring Nate Shaw for the walk-off win.
