BENNINGTON, Vt. — White River Junction Post 84 jumped to a 6-0 lead through an inning and a half, a fast start that proved essential in a 6-5 win over Bennington Post 13 in Vermont American Legion baseball action on Wednesday night at Mount Anthony Union High School.
Three-run frames put Post 84 (6-4) ahead to stay. Post 13 (5-7) closed the gap by the sixth but left runners in scoring position in its final two at-bats.
