With four RBI, Rose helps Canton beat Suffield for first time since 2010

CANTON, May 18 – Jack Rose had a three-RBI double in the second inning to help the Canton High baseball team race out to an early seven-run lead as the Warriors beat Suffield for the first time since 2010 with a 9-1 NCCC decision on a steamy afternoon at Bowdoin Field.

With temperatures over 90 degrees, Rose was on fire, going 2-for-3 with four RBI and a double. Ethan Burke was just as hot, going 3-for-3 with one RBI and a triple. Catcher Sam Beadle was 3-for-4 with a double as Canton ripped 15 hits in the game.

Canton (10-7, 8-6 NCCC) captured their third straight game and earned their fifth win in the last six games. The Wildcats (12-6, 9-6 NCCC) had won the previous six games against Canton, giving up a total of six runs in those victories.

Canton took command in the second inning. Beadle, Burke and James Mattson each singled to load the bases. Rose followed with a three-run double to left field. After moving to third base on a passed ball, Rose made it 4-0 on a RBI single from Greg Wood.

In the third inning, Rose’s two-out single to center field made it 5-0. Mike Sullivan followed with a single and Rose scored on a RBI single to center field from Wood for a 6-0 lead. Sullivan scored on an error to swell the lead to 7-0.

On the mound, Canton hurler Tim Keating took care of business, scattering five hits over 6 2/3 innings and striking out three. Keating improved to 2-2 on the season.

The Warriors return to action on Saturday when they host Northwestern Regional in a non-league contest beginning at 3:45 p.m.
