The Westfield Starfires set a new franchise wins record with their 32nd victory in a 12-2 blowout of the Vermont Lake Monsters, securing home-field advantage in the first round of the FCBL Playoffs for the first time. Westfield’s scoring started in the third inning and continued with small ball tactics throughout the game. The team loaded the bases multiple times and had big hits in the final two innings, including a grand slam by Jackson Haker. On the mound, Jordan Talbot, Cam Fisher, and Joe Fisher combined for a strong performance, allowing only one run in the game.
The Starfires will open the final weekend of play with a special Celtics Night on August 2, where two-time NBA Champion Cedric Maxwell and 2008 NBA Champion Brian Scalabrine will join the team for a meet-and-greet session and ceremonial first pitch. The team will also wear special Celtics-inspired basketball jerseys during the game, which will be auctioned off. Tickets are available for the pregame event and the game itself.
The Starfires’ impressive victory over the Lake Monsters not only secured a franchise record but also set them up for a strong playoff run with home-field advantage. Fans are encouraged to come out and support the team as they head into the final weekend of play before the playoffs begin.
