SOUTH ROYALTON — Boone Fahey tossed a gem for the Thetford Academy baseball team on Tuesday, leading the visiting Panthers over White River Valley, 9-2.

Fahey went all seven innings for Thetford, striking out 13 while allowing four hits and zero earned runs. Fahey helped his own cause at the dish, going 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored.

“Boone pitched a great game for us today. He was dominant from start to finish,” Thetford coach Phil Chaput said. “We had some timely hits from the top of our order to propel our offense. WRV is a quality team and a local rival; it’s always good to get those types of wins.”

Nolan Pepe helped set the tone for the opportunistic Panthers, going 3-for-3 with a walk and scoring three runs. Jacob Gilman and Xander Oshiniyi each had two hits, scored twice and drove in one. Owen Goodrich had two hits, including a double, and drove in four.

Robby McShinsky pitched all seven innings for WRV, striking out nine against a pair of walks. McShinsky had a hit and drove in one. Tattin Griffin added a double. Ty Couture and Loren Young each had a hit and scored a run.

Both teams return to action on Thursday, when Thetford (2-1) hosts Blue Mountain and WRV (4-2) visits Mill River.
