GRANBY — It was the Conner Bergeron show on Monday afternoon as the eighth-grader led the Greenfield baseball team past Granby, 10-0, at the Granby Baseball Diamond in a five-inning affair.

Bergeron threw a one-hitter for the Green Wave—the Rams’ second-to-last batter of the game punched a single to right field to spoil the no-no—and pounded two hits for five RBIs at the plate as Greenfield halted a two-game skid and improved to 6-4 this season.

“We had a young kid for his first time out, he threw very well,” Green Wave head coach Tom Suchanek said. “Threw a one-hitter, threw 50 pitches for his first outing… he’s certainly got a lot of potential ahead of him. [He’s a] good kid too.”

Bergeron worked quickly on the mound and it suited him as the right-hander struck out six Granby batters and did not allow a walk. Greenfield’s hurler also provided most of its offense as the victors only scrapped together three hits. Bergeron (single, double) and Nico Siano (single) earned all the base knocks for the Green Wave.

“We didn’t hit the ball well but, unfortunately, [Granby] had walks and wild pitches and that came back and bit them,” Suchanek said.

Caleb Thomas and Bryce Hammond each contributed an RBI for Greenfield, to go along with Bergeron’s five.

The Rams were their own worst enemy on Monday as just four of Green Wave’s 10 total runs were earned. Granby committed three errors, while nine Greenfield batters got on via base-on-balls, as the Rams fell to 1-9 in the loss.

“I just told them that we got to keep our heads up,” Granby head coach James Woods said. “There’s some things that I see that we’re really improving on and still some things that we have to continue to work on. Where we were at the very beginning of the year, even though the result wasn’t there being 10-0, I just thought that overall our pitchers have been better, at times our fielding has been better, just not so much today in the few innings where we had some miscues.

“Their pitcher, Bergeron, was really good,” Woods added. “He was plus-counts, he was able to really pound the zone early, get us in minus-counts and then he took advantage of that. He was really all-around the plate, of course we didn’t get a hit ‘til the fifth, so he got on top of us and made the most of it.”

Gavin Moreno started on the hill for the Rams and allowed nine runs on three hits, while fanning five visiting batters. Moreno also secured Granby’s lone hit of the contest, breaking up Bergeron’s no-hitter with one out during the bottom of the fifth inning.

Anthony Misiaszek pitched the final two innings for the Rams and the freshman lefty did his job, giving up one run while keeping Greenfield’s bats quiet with no hits allowed.

“I liked the way Anthony Misiaszek came in to pitch the last couple innings,” Woods said. “Some miscues that we were making errors and things, kind of extended innings, I think this game would’ve been a much tighter game if we had a little bit cleaner results. Again, a few walks sprinkled in there and it didn’t help.”

Granby lost seven straight games to start the season, before earning their first win against Palmer—a 15-3 victory—on April 18. The Rams still have time to tack on more Ws to their record with six games left in the regular season and that’s been Woods’ message throughout the year: there’s always next game.

“I’d say we got to believe and we always got another game to go,” Woods said. “Wednesday we have a game with Ludlow, where earlier in the year they walked-off on us, 9-8, so we’re right there with some teams. We’ve been right there the last few games, today not so much, but I think they see some positives with their individual efforts as much as the team.”

Granby will host Ludlow on Wednesday, with first pitch set for 5 p.m.

Greenfield will look to keep its momentum going with its next game 24 hours later against Hampshire Regional on Tuesday. First pitch at Veterans’ Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 4 p.m.
