Janzin Cripe, Bailey Ness and David McAtee had two hits each, and landan Tharp had a hit and three RBI’s. The Squires stranded 13 runners in seven innings. “We left too many on base, but a win is a win,” Squire head coach Jack Rupley said. “We need to get better at making good contact with two strikes.” Now 2-7 overall and 1-1 in the TRC, Manchester travels to Peru on Wednesday.
