Champlain Valley Union High baseball and softball teams began their second (playoff) seasons on Wednesday, with the14-2, second-seeded baseball aggregation home to 12th-seeded North Country Union and the 1-15 softball team on the road against third-seeded 9-5 Brattleboro Union.
Wednesday?s games were after the Observer?s press deadline.
The baseball team?s game with 3-13 North Country was postponed from Tuesday due to weather.
An opening round victory would give the Redhawks a home encounter on Friday at 4:30 p.m. against the winner of a Wednesday pairing between 10th-seeded South Burlington High, 7-9, at seventh-seed Essex High, 11-5.
Coach Tim Albertson?s CVU combine, blanked 7-0 with but two hits by Colchester ace Zach Tandy, got the raps back on Friday with a 6-1 triumph at Middlebury Union.
The slugging came from Larry Halvorson with a two-run double, Curt Echo?s triple, single and RBI, plus Brendan Davitt?s two hits.
Dylan Ireland pitched into the sixth inning, allowing seven hits while whiffing five to get the win. Davis Mikell worked the final inning and two-thirds, fanning three.
The softball team, should it win at Brattleboro, would play on Saturday against Wednesday?s winner between sixth-seeded Mount Mansfield Union and 11th-seed North Country Union. That game would also be on the road.
CVU bowed to Colchester and Middlebury in its final two regular season tests.
