WILMINGTON, MA — The WHS Varsity Baseball Team (8-6) fell to Wakefield (13-2), 8 to 3, on Thursday afternoon at Wakefield High.
Wilmington starter Matt Woods was the victim of some sloppy defense as 7 of the runs he gave up were of the unearned variety.
Wilmington kept it close for much of the afternoon, but, in the 6th inning of a 3-3 tie, Wakefield’s offense exploded with 5 runs, putting the game out of reach for the Wildcats.
Danny Gracia led the offense for the Wildcats with 2 hits, including a double. Chris Grecco, Joe Kelley and Nick Poli also recorded hits. Gracia, Kelley and Gillis each had one RBI.
