| Bristol’s Zach Marquis singles to right center field. Marquis played right field and pitched for Team Red in the first game of the Rawlings Futures Showcase at Balf-Sakin Field on the campus of CCSU. |
The first game pitted a pair of teams sporting incoming high school seniors. Zachary Marquis, Andrew Owsianko and Wesley Lahey played from Bristol. Steve Urbanski was chosen from Wolcott. For Waterbury, Joevonni Torres and Peyton Stephens got the call.
Lahey pitched early in the game. Pitchers only threw an inning to keep their pitch counts down. Marquis also got some time on the mound.
In the field, Marquis played right. Urbanski took up positions at second base and left field. Owsianko played third base and Torres caught several innings.
A 4 p.m. game today will feature incoming high school juniors. Among those slated to play are Bristol’s Cory Fradette, Waterbury’s Evan Laferriere and Wolcott’s Nick Longo.
The Rawlings Futures Showcase brings in college coaches from throughout the region at multiple NCAA levels. There have also been major league scouts at the games.
