New Hope-Solebury’s junior varsity baseball team lost a close pitchers’ duel to Bristol High School, falling, 5-3, in eight innings yesterday (May 13) at home.

New Hope’s Evan Brown was dominant, despite the no-decision. Brown pitched seven strong innings, giving up three runs while striking out 12 batters. He also contributed on the base paths by scoring a run.

Brown was sailing through the Bristol lineup until the fourth inning when he gave up two runs on a double into the gap in the outfield. He gave up another run in the sixth on a two-out single which tied the game at three.

Sloppy play seemed to decimate the Warriors’ chances early in the contest.

They gave up a run in the first on a pop fly that should have been caught and two more in the second inning on a wide throw to first base and on a dropped fly ball.

However, Bristol fought back, scoring twice in the eighth inning to put the game away.
