Trumbull topples Ludlowe, 3-1
Ah. McDougall Field. It was quite a glorious afternoon for baseball at one of the FCIAC's finest facilities, especially sitting next to its namesake, Jerry McDougall, who, when he wasn't giving me orange slices to gnaw on during Tuesday's key FCIAC battle between Trumbull and Ludlowe, he was reading off the names of the Ludlowe players and guessing who their parents or grandparents might be.
Meanwhile, not an overly exciting game but a good one for Trumbull, which defeated Ludlowe 3-1 to grab the upper hand on the No. 2 seed in the upcoming FCIAC tournament. Ryan Yerina pitched a complete game, seven-hitter with eight strikeouts. Tim Zubrinsky and Rob Blanc hit solo home runs. Trumbull has just knocked Ludlowe back big time.
So here's a look at the FCIAC race with two games left. The playoffs begin Monday at sites of the higher seeded teams.
Stamford is in first place at 15-1 and has Danbury and New Canaan left. It has tiebreakers over everybody except Ludlowe.
Trumbull is in second place at 13-3. Trumbull has Wilton and Greenwich remaining. Trumbull has lost to Westhill, Ridgefield and Stamford.
Ludlowe is in third place at 13-3. Ludlowe has Bassick and Danbury remaining. Ludlowe has lost to Trumbull, Westhill and Fairfield Warde.
Ridgefield technically in fourth at 12-4. Ridgefield has lost to Stamford, St. Joseph, Ludlowe and Greenwich. It hold tiebreakers over McMahon and Westhill.
McMahon is 12-4. The Senators finish with Trinity Catholic and Ridgefield. McMahon has lost to Trumbull, Darien, Stamford and Ludlowe. It holds tiebreakers over Westhill.
Westhill is 11-4 with a game against Darien played Wednesday, and games with Greenwich and Staples left. Westhill has lost to Norwalk, McMahon, Ridgefield, Stamford.
Staples is 9-6 and ahead of Norwalk and Darien for seventh in the playoffs. Norwalk and Darien are 8-7. St. Joseph is a longshot at 9-8.
