They not only got wins over their opponents, they beat the rain.

The downpour began around 6:30 but the Bishop Guertin, Souhegan and Alvirne baseball teams left the diamond before any rains came with wins in their back pockets. For Alvirne, it was extra special, the Broncos’ first win of the year.
