ESSEX — Host Essex pulled away in the late innings for a 13-3 win over the Mount Abraham Union High School baseball team on Tuesday. The Hornets improved to 3-2, while Mount Abe dropped to 1-3.
Josh Cyr singled and poked an RBI double for the Eagles, and Aaron Benway also knocked out a pair of hits. Sawyer Kamman absorbed the pitching loss.
The Eagles were scheduled to host Otter Valley on Wednesday in a game already once postponed by rain; prospects were uncertain at presstime. Middlebury is set to visit Mount Abe on Thursday, and the Eagles are scheduled to entertain St. Johnsbury on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
