WESTMINSTER, Vt. -- Bellows Falls Post 37 scored first, and they scored last, but it wasn't enough to overcome a couple of big innings during White River Junction Post 84's 11-5 victory last night at Hadley Field.

Bellows Falls struck first in the second inning when Peyton Haskins hit a hard grounder up the middle which skipped past the shortstop to drive home Paul Young.

White River Junction knotted the game at one in the third inning before adding another run in the fourth.

The visitors kept the momentum going in the fifth inning, plating three more runs to claim a 5-1 advantage.

White River Junction put the game seemingly out of reach in the top half of the seventh inning with a six-run outburst, but Bellows Falls battled back with four runs of their own to make things interesting before the final out was secured.

Tim Fletcher, Eli Allbee, Steve Joslyn, and Devyn Cheeney each recorded hits in the final inning to spark the rally for BF.

Bellows Falls (1-1) is back in action today at Ludlow at 5:30 p.m.
