Imagine how BC freshman pitcher Matt O Donnell felt. The lanky right-hander from Ashland pitched the ninth inning for the Eagles yesterday. BC coach Peter Hughes is bringing O Donnell along slowly. This was just his fourth appearance, an inning each time. But no one s reached.
Some guys toss perfect games.
O Donnell s working on a perfect season. You come in as a freshman you have to wait your time, I guess. BC freshman outfielder Eric Wright, who played at Algonquin Regional, was playing at Fenway for the second time. The first time was brutal, the Tomahawks getting crushed by New Bedford in the state championship game his sophomore year. Yesterday s easy win went down much better.
