One-Run Wonders: Nighthawk Sluggers Battle In 11 Nail-Biters During Regular Slate (By Andy Hutchison of The Newtown Bee)
If you were looking for a little suspense this spring the Newtown High School baseball diamond, or whatever field the Nighthawk sluggers were visiting, was the place to be. Among 20 regular-season games were 11 decided by a single run — including the Nighthawks’ last three, and four of their final five matchups heading into the postseason. Newtown went 6-5 in those nail-biters and posted a 13-7 overall mark and earned the No. 4 seed and a conference tournament quarterfinal-round home game.
