POULTNEY, Vt. In the bottom of the seventh, Rivendell Academy baseball was in a jam on the road.
Poultney had the bases loaded with one out, trailing the Raptors 17-15.
Rivendell head coach Eric Reichert made a pitching change in the big spot: he called on senior Nate Parkin. And Parkin shut Poultney down. He struck out the first batter and induced a groundout to end the game. Rivendell won 17-15.
Much of the Raptors’ damage came in a 10-run fifth inning.
Junior Wyatt Underhill paced Rivendell with a 3-for-5 game, with four RBIs, four runs, and five stolen bases. Senior Ty Newman went 2 for 5 with a triple, two RBIs, and two runs scored. Sophomore Harry Molesworth went 2 for 4 with a double and three RBIs.

Hanover coach Ryan Gardner credited Brendan Logan’s play in midfield, vacuuming up 15 ground balls to help the Marauders maintain control. Logan, Seamus Murphy, Angus Frew and DH Hendrick accounted for Hanover’s other scores, and Danny Pitiger made seven saves.
