Avon High senior Justin Olson won his third game Monday.
AVON, April 25 – Pitcher Justin Olson limited Glastonbury to just three hits and struck out seven to lead the Avon High baseball team to a 2-0 victory over the Tomahawks in Central Connecticut Conference play on Monday at Buckingham Field.
Olson threw a complete game as he improved his record to 3-0 on the season. The Falcons are now 5-3 with their second win in the last three games. Olson contributed at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a double.
Avon took a 1-0 lead off Glastonbury starter Ian Halpin in the fifth inning. Kyle Emery reached first base on hard ground ball to the third baseman. It was ruled a hit but Emery took second on an error when the third baseman tried to make a play and the throw was wild.
Emery scored on a RBI single to right field by Matt Boone.
The Falcons extended their lead in the sixth inning. Matt Rose led off the inning with a single to center field and was followed by Olson, who reached with an infield single. Rose scored on a Jeremy Zarwanski single to right field for a 2-0 advantage.
Avon (5-3, 2-1 CCC Central White) returns to the diamond on Wednesday when they host Simsbury (2-2) at 5 p.m. at Buckingham Field. The Falcons will host Farmington (3-4, 1-1) on Friday afternoon at 3:45 p.m. as Avon returns to CCC Central White play.
