The 2025 Essex high school baseball season began on a high note on Tuesday with the Hornets defeating the Burlington Seahorses 6-4 at "Ferreira Field."
After each team scored twice in the first inning, starters Jackson Lyman and Eamon Morency settled down and kept things even until the bottom of the fourth. That's when the Essex's Christopher Morgan knocked in 2 runs on a triple, then scored on a single by Jacob Laroche to make it 5-2. The Seahorses got a run back on a HBP with the bases loaded, but the Hornets would get the lead back to 3 on a Lawrence single in the 6th.
Burlington had one last chance, loading the bases and scoring a run in the seventh on a walk, but Nico Caiano struck out Bramhill to end the game.
Essex (1-0) next host Spaulding on Thursday while Burlington will face Vergennes.
Notes: Lyman ended his outing going 4.2 innings, striking out 9 batters...Morency went 6 innings in the loss...Ferreira Field is my personal name for Essex's baseball diamond and not a real name. Nor is the Bill O'Neil skating facility or the Burnett football stadium (yes, this is my Essex bias coming in here).
