See how Brody Bumila fared in his longest start of the season so far

SHREWSBURY— Bishop Feehan senior pitcher and Raynham resident Brody Bumila has his first win of the season under his belt.

The 6-foot-9 southpaw, University of Texas commit and MLB Draft prospect had his longest appearance of the season so far on Thursday, April 16, earning the win in a 3-0 victory over St. John's. Bumila tossed 4 perfect innings striking out 9. He now has 27 strikeouts through 10 innings of work.

The win over the Pioneers, his third start of the year, saw some differences from his past two outings.

Senior second baseman Jamie Herlihy followed with a grounder to the Shamrocks' senior first baseman Colin Lahiff before Bumila struck out senior designated hitter Conor Secrist to end the inning.

Senior catcher Owen Miller also made sent a ball into play to start the bottom of the third, only to send a grounder straight back to Bumila, who threw him out before striking out the final five batters he faced.
