CARVER — Upon being told he was getting the start Monday, the wheels began to spin in Matt Lowe’s mind. The junior knew immediately that he was going to have to pitch his best game, facing one of the top squads in the Commonwealth. Mount Everett catcher Jacob Kreis greets Heyden Cutlip and Michael Ullrich earlier this season.
Kreis hit a a two-run double on Monday to help the Eagles to a state tournament win. With flawless expertise, he proceeded to do just that. The righty nearly went the distance, firing 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball while striking out eight, as No.
28 Mount Everett kept its Cinderella run alive in the MIAA Division V State Tournament with a stunning 4-1 upset of fifth-ranked Carver on the road. “It feels great,” said Eagles coach Dan Lanoue. “It was a three-hour ride, but the guys came out firing.
Matt was in control the whole time. Last year, we lost in the last inning to Westport, so this is going to make the bus ride home nice.” The Eagles (12-9) certainly showed no signs of rust following their commute, as they proceeded to bat around in the first inning.
Jacob Kreis connected for a two-run double right out of the gate, before Sean Warren added an RBI single to provide Mount Everett a shocking 3-0 lead in the frame. Sean Warren connects, and that ball rolls into center for an RBI single! Mount Everett ( @everett_eagles ) continues to roll in the first inning, and seizes a 3-0 advantage! One out. @EagleSportsZone pic.
