A Tough Loss at Holman Stadium
Exeter Post 32 saw its hopes dim on Thursday night as Bedford Post 54 rolled past them 3-0 at Holman Stadium. All three runs came in the sixth inning, a burst that turned a tight contest into a decisive victory for Bedford.
The game was part of the New Hampshire American Legion state tournament, where the stakes are high and every inning carries weight. Bedford’s timely hitting and solid pitching proved enough to pull away.
Coach Mitropoulos Weighs In
Coach Tim Mitropoulos praised Bedford’s talent while acknowledging the hard-fought nature of the game, noting that his squad gave everything they had. He emphasized that the team’s effort was evident despite the final score.
Looking Ahead to Keene
Exeter will now meet Keene in an elimination game on Sunday, July 26, at 1 p.m., also at Holman Stadium. Keene entered the matchup after dropping a 7-4 decision to Nashua earlier in the week before edging Lebanon 2-1 later that same day.
Mitropoulos remains confident his team can rebound, pointing to the steady hitting of Brady McGovern, Nate Edin and Collin McGovern as proof that the offense is still alive and capable of producing runs when it matters most.
