Wolcott Scrappers 4, Bethel Outlaws 3 (10 innings): The Scrappers, the home team by coin flip at Bethel High School Wednesday night, came up big in a Stan Musial Tournament game against the Outlaws, undefeated in their previous 20 games.
The Scrappers were down 3-1 after the first three innings, then tied it in the seventh. Wolcott loaded the bases on an error, failed fielder’s choice and a bunt single by Justin Koutros. Mike Vaccarelli, who scored Wolcott’s run in the first inning, pushed in another run on a fielder’s choice. Connor McEvoy’s sacrifice fly tied it up.
Wolcott starter Erik Sehnal (11 strikeouts, 3 earned runs) churned into the top of the 10th inning, refusing to budge.
Then, in the bottom of the inning, the Scrappers seized the day. McEvoy reached on an error. Adam LaCapra grounded into another failed fielder’s choice. Ryan Soucy flew into a fielder’s choice on a dropped ball in the outfield.
With runners on first and third, Jason Miller chopped a slow bouncer to short — enough for the winning run and a Scrapper celebration.

Then Tri-Town’s Wayne Brewington drove in one earned run while an unearned run gave the Trojans a 2-0 edge in the top of the seventh.
Jack DiBiase (2-for-4), the only player in the game with more than one hit, drove in a run for Waterbury in the bottom of the inning.
