Hermon coach Aaron Brideau was fired after his pitcher beaned an opponent.
Baseball has its share of unwritten rules, and Foxcroft Academy broke just about every
one of them. Hermon High school pitcher intentionally pegged a Foxcroft batter. Now
Hermon coach Aaron Brideau has been relieved of his duties as a result of it. The
events in question happened during a regular-season game between the teams. Leading
8-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning, Foxcroft's Brooks Law dropped a suicide-squeeze
bunt single to score a run giving them a 7 run lead and then proceeded to steal both
second and third. Hermon finally fed up with an opposing team stealing 16 bases in a
lopsided victory, the unnamed Hermon pitcher reportedly drilled Foxcroft's Caleb Richard
with the ensuing pitch. It's unclear if Hermon pitcher hit Richard after receiving direct
instructions to do so from Brideau or whether he acted out of his own volition.
As for Foxcroft's excuse for being so aggressive on the basepaths? The Foxcroft Academy
Ponies had a doubleheader in two days, so they wanted to mercy rule Hermon as quickly
as possible to save two innings of pitching work. Despite that clear disregard for
common sportsmanship, it was Foxcroft coach Mark Chevalier who complained to the paper
about his foe's poor sportsmanship. “It did seem suspicious because they were clearly
getting very frustrated and it felt like the pitcher really reared back and put something
extra on that pitch. The final score was 11-1.
“Our kids play the game hard,"
he told the Daily News, "and they play it the right way. People who understand baseball
can see that."
I always thought mercy games are tough. It sucks for the losing
team and just as bad for the winning team. I absolutely hated playing in mercy games even
if we were the team winning. It just makes a mockery of the game. I just don't believe
in embarrassing a team especially when they are already down. I find Foxcroft Academy's
excuse of trying to save their pitching for an upcoming doubleheader just a really big
pussy of an excuse. Not a fan.

As we navigate through the 2025 baseball season, it’s important for us to stay updated on the
latest changes and regulations that impact our game. One significant update was the decision to
ban all drop 5 bats. This decision has been followed by most leagues and almost all nearby
leagues. For those unfamiliar, the term "drop" in bat specifications refers to the difference
between the length and weight of the bat. A drop 5 bat, for example, is five ounces lighter
than its length in inches. There are many brands of -5 bats and I have even seen -10 bats
but all -5 and up bats regardless of the brand or model are now banned.
The problem
is when big powerful players swing drop 5 bats, the resulting force can be hazardous putting
pitchers and infielders are at a higher risk of injury due to the increased exit velocity of
balls hit with -5 bats.
We were one of the last leagues to allow -5 bats. In the
past we allowed only B division teams to use these bats because we felt the impact would be
very minimal. The time has now come to ban -5 bats in our league. By banning drop 5 bats and up,
we aim to reduce these risks and ensure a safer playing environment for everyone. Player safety
will always been a top priority. We fully support and join other leagues decisions to ban drop
5 bats in play.
