ANSONIA – Ansonia lost 17-6 to National Trail in five innings of Cross County Conference baseball on Thursday.

National Trail out-hit Ansonia 21 to four in Thursday’s game. The Blazers committed no errors while the Tigers had two.

Jarvis Thwaits led the Ansonia offense as he went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBIs and scored a run. Tyler Neal was 1-for-3 with a double, a RBI and a run. Devyn Sink went 1-for-2 for the Tigers.

Ry Fortkamp was hit by a pitch, walked and scored a run. Jacob Longenecker walked, stole a base and scored a run. Ethan Fischer and Caleb Jones also walked and scored a run.
