WHITE RIVER JUNCTION The Upper Valley Nighthawks dropped a crucial NECBL baseball game Sunday, falling to the Keene Swamp Bats, 6-4, at Maxfield Sports Complex.
The Nighthawks (14-11) fell to third in the NECBL’s Northern Division with the loss. They now trail first-place Keene (16-7) by three games, and they dropped a half-game behind the North Shore Navigators (12-9-2).
Nighthawks manager Justin Devoid said the loss’ implications on the standings don’t make it sting any more.
“We knew coming in that they were the No. 1 team,” Devoid said. “In my eyes, I think we’re the No. 1 team. We can play with them, and we showed it today. They just beat us today. And I don’t think (in) a lot of our losses this year we got beat. And today, we got beat.”
