John Powers has seen the mound sparingly for Hopkins this season due to an elbow injury, but today the senior righthander went the distance and picked up the win as the Hilltoppers beat Hamden Hall 3-2.
It was a pitcher's duel. Powers struck out six, allowed just five hits and two runs. Austin French, a freshman lefthander, struck out seven, allowed just four hits and two earned runs. French may be the next on the list of standout Hamden Hall pitchers. As for Powers, he looks ready for the Fairchester League playoffs alongside Hopkins talented staff of Ian Bezahler and Ted Clark.
