MONTPELIER — The shorthanded Vermont Mountaineers are stealing a few lines from The Beatles and getting by with a little help from their friends.
The Capital City’s NECBL franchise is bringing in reinforcements just in the nick of time entering the final weeks of the regular season. A shrinking roster left Vermont with only a few substitutes for field positions, but players and coaches put out a few calls in an attempt to fill the voids.
A handful of mid-summer replacements quickly answered the bell, giving the Mountaineers a boost during a hectic stretch of 14 games in 14 days. Infielders Craig Larsen and Connor Bertsch and outfielder Kade Kretzschmar provide the team with three more Ivy League standouts, while pitchers Cameron Mayer, William Paoli and Matthew Scibilio add depth to the rotation.
