West Haven Sailors Fall Short of Western Mass Pioneers

The West Haven Sailors could not keep pace with the Western Mass Pioneers 5-2 on Tuesday at West Haven High School.

West Haven did get on the board in the first inning after Kyle Justo singled, scoring one run. But the Pioneers jumped back into the lead in the top of the fourth inning after an error, scoring one. Then Nick Calvanese grounded into a fielder's choice, scoring another. Western Mass would add two more in the top of the fifth which would be all the run support they needed.
