The BFS Boys Varsity Baseball Team defeated Packer 6-1 at Keyspan Park on Friday, May 2, to pick up their 7th win in a row. The team now has an impressive 9-3 overall record. Senior John Cunningham pitched six solid innings giving up no earned runs and striking out the first seven batters he faced in the first two innings. He finished with 12 strikeouts on the afternoon, and has become the new BFS season strikeout record holder, currently with 56 total, with games still remaining. He surpassed BFS Alum Josh Miller (51 strikeouts in a season), who was in attendance in a great seat right behind homeplate, as well as the record of 53 strikeouts set in 2006 by his teammate and friend, senior Artyom Milius. For this game, Milius came in to hold it down in the 7th inning and to secure the victory! Once again this is a very special team! Congratulations to Coach Johnny Cusato and the Panthers, and many thanks to all who came to see the game and cheer the team to victory.
