On Monday, August 13th, Yellow Jackets Baseball traveled to Fairfield to take on WEAA Conference foe New Hope.  New Hope jumped out to a 1-0 lead after one inning, then expanded the lead to 4-0 and 7-0 in the second and third innings respectively.  New Hope added three more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to take a 10-0 lead.  The Yellow Jackets didn't give up, as they scored six runs in the top of the fifth inning to now trail 10-6.  New Hope then scored seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to win the game by the final score of 17-6.  One rare feat in baseball was accomplished by the Yellow Jackets in the fourth inning, as JD Bowser turned an unassisted triple play.  With the bases loaded, JD caught a line-drive at shortstop, then stepped on second to double off one runner and ran down the runner from first base to record all three outs on one play.
