BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER DUDLEY — It wasn’t pretty, but the Shepherd Hill baseball team held on for their first victory of the season April 2, an 8-7 triumph over Uxbridge. Uxbridge’s Pat McCrohan prepares to swing away in the second inning. McCrohan singled to right field in that at bat. “It got ugly.Not scary, it got ugly,” Shepherd Hill coach Shaune Ducharme said after the game. The Rams scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, erasing a 4-4 deadlock. After some anxious moments in the top of the seventh, Shepherd Hill held on for the one- run victory. Brett Anctil started things for the Rams in the sixth with a single down the third base line. James Alano then hit a fielder’s choice, but advanced to second base on a poor Uxbridge throw.
