BRATTLEBORO, Vt. White River Junction Post 84’s hopes for hosting a Vermont American Legion baseball quarterfinal are drying up, even as the squad finds itself in the driver’s seat for the postseason.
Post 84 dropped a pair of games to Brattleboro Post 5 on Thursday at Natowich Field. Brattleboro rallied from a three-run deficit for an 8-7 win in the completion of a game suspended by weather on July 15. Post 5 then followed with a 3-2 victory in Thursday’s regularly scheduled contest.
WRJ (7-6) held a 7-4 lead through four innings when the first game was stopped last week. Southern Division-leader Brattleboro (12-4) scored single runs in the fifth and sixth, then used a two-run seventh for a walk-off win.
