WINSTED — Northwestern Regional High School ball fields hosted simultaneous middle school matchups the afternoon of Thursday, May 1.

Region One teams, with players from Cornwall, Falls Village, North Canaan, Salisbury and Sharon, faced Region Seven middle schoolers from the towns of Barkhamsted, Colebrook, New Hartford and Norfolk.

Both games started at 3:30 p.m. on opposite sides of the high school.

In baseball, the game came down to the wire. Region One built a 9-6 lead going into the final inning. It had to be the final inning because the varsity team needed the field for practice.

A pair of walked batters allowed Northwestern to cut the lead to one run with a sacrifice fly followed by an RBI double. Region One locked down defensively and secured back-to-back putouts at first base to end the game 9-8.

In softball, a high-scoring game was initially led by Region One. Pitcher Taylen Leonard put the Mountaineers up 7-6 in the third inning.

Northwestern battled back to take the lead and ultimately won 14-9.
