The Bristol Eastern baseball squad secured a decisive 14‑4 win over Wolcott Tech in the CIAC Class L Tournament, earning a spot in the quarterfinals.
An early onslaught saw Eastern plate five unearned runs in the opening inning, a direct result of multiple errors by the opposition that loaded the bases and cleared the way for a barrage of hits.
Key Performances Drive the Surge
Cole Chaivanik sparked the offense with a two‑run inside‑the‑park home run, while Drew Martineau added a RBI triple that drove in two more runs in the second frame.
Sammy Casarola contributed both at the plate and on the mound, delivering two singles and pitching six innings that limited Wolcott to three runs.
Noah Molinsky doubled and scored, and the sixth inning featured key hits from Braden Guarda, Dennis Espinal and Eli Emmert, helping the team compile thirteen hits overall.
