Franklin (W:1-0) On May 16 Berlin had them- selves an honest to goodness pitching duel. Arsenault went the distance again with nine K’s, two walks and allowed only six base runners. This was junior right hander Brian Pickowicz’s first loss in five games tossing 12 K’s, one walk and allowed eight Berlin base runners, but only one after the fourth inning. In the second inning on two outs Jeff O’Neil singled to left and Alec Jones hit a 4-1 pitch double to score O’Neil from first, Berlin’s only run of the game. Arsenault led off the third inning with a triple, but was left stranded. There was a game changer moment in the fifth in which Franklin had bases loaded on no outs. Their number-nine man tries a suicide squeeze play, but Arsenault throws it wide and Donaldson tags out the runner trying to steal home. Arsenault laid out two more strikeouts to end Franklin’s revival. see BERLIN, page A12 Berlin High School Academic Achieve- ment List The following students have been named to the Berlin High School Academic Achievement List for the third quarter of the 2010-2011 school year.
