Notes
I’m going to bet Carroll goes to the Futures Game and ends up promoted to Double-A shortly after the showcase. He’s shown no signs of slowing down after looking like the best player in all of Arizona during 2020 instructs. This is the kind of player who’s going to out-produce his raw power in games because the quality of his contact is just so good. His homer yesterday (which tied the game in the ninth) was hit to the opposite field. It wasn’t like a lot of oppo bombs that rely on brute strength (think of Giancarlo Stanton’s right-center homers) or just happen to suit the swing path of someone with big power (Ryan Howard). Instead, Carroll just dove to try to cover the outer third of the plate and poked the barrel there, and he hit the bottom of the ball with the sweet spot of the bat.

Bennington is facing significant municipal staff turnover after the Select Board opted to replace Town Administrator Kristie LaPlante and Road Agent Hazen Fisk earlier this month. Additionally, Deputy Town Administrator and Tax Collector Dee French is resigning as of May 31, and the Select Board is also exploring a merged police department after Police Chief Bret Sullivan announced his intent to retire.
“The town is moving in a new direction,” Select Board Chair James Cleary said of the two dismissals when asked about them at a Select Board meeting Tuesday night. He did not provide further reason for either dismissal. The town has already replaced the Road Agent by promoting an existing Highway Department employee, Cleary said, and promoted Administrative Assistant Deb Davidson to interim Town Administrator. A new Assistant Town Administrator starts in June, he said. “Things are moving along very well,” he said.
