Laconia, n.h.
Jack Loftus brought home two runs on a Laconia error and scored on a Cody Turgeon triple to key a three-run fifth inning in Post 22’s 4-1 win over Laconia at Memorial Field on Saturday. Nate Perkins and Kyle Hammond accounted for the unearned runs on Loftus’ grounder and gave Lebanon (3-3 league, 5-5) overall enough cushion for the victory.
Trey Parker threw six innings of three-hit ball to get the win in the seven-inning contest. Parker fanned nine and walked two, leaving Barrett Griffin to earn the save in the seventh.
Kegan Silovich led the offense with two hits in three at-bats along with an RBI.
Lebanon, which lost a nonleague contest to Dover and won one against Haverhill, Mass., as part of the tournament, returns to league play on Tuesday with a make-up date against Weare at St. Anselm College.
