The Bridgeport Bombers senior legion baseball team traveled east to face some rare Class C competition last weekend.While the Bombers weren’t able to sneak out a win in any of the four games, the road trip gave them a good opportunity to compete against opponents in their same class.
“Overall it was a nice weekend to play some different competition and see some new ball parks,” Bombers coach James Simmons said. “We just couldn’t piece together a complete game.When we pitched well, we didn’t hit or field. When we hit, we struggled to pitch well.When we fielded cleanly, we couldn’t get our bats going.”
In the opening game against Wood River on Friday, Bridgeport rallied from an early deficit to tie the game at 11-11 in the fourth inning. Nik Weibert’s double knocked in three runs to even the score. Wood River later plated six runs to pull out a 17-11 win.
