Barnstable Bows to Easton Post 7 in State South Sectionals

BRAINTREE - Barnstable Post 206 got a fine performance on the mound from righty Pete Liimatainen but "Liimo's" offense was snakebit as Post 206 gathered just six hits on the day even though it belted nine line drives straight at Easton's defense and to all corners of the Braintree High School ballpark.

     Liimatainen went eight innings and struck out six. He walked three and allowed four runs on eight hits. Dan Holzman pitched a 1-2-3 ninth in relief, with one strikeout.

     Ryan Litchman nailed a two-out, pinch-hit triple, then came home on a Denny Beynor double in the bottom of the ninth, but it was too little, too late. Alex Pernick went 2-4, as did Beynor.
