NORWICH – Leigh Baldwin & Associates completed the first unbeaten season in the YMCA Men’s Corporate Basketball League in over a decade beating Burrell’s/Parker’s for the fourth time this season, 63-31, Monday night at the Norwich YMCA.
LBA went on an early 8-0 spurt to lead 10-2, and stretched its lead to 32-13 by halftime. Eric Poiesz scored 19 points in the first half helping his club finish the first half on a 16-4 spurt. “Our defense was pretty decent in the first half, and I thought that was a big factor,” Poiesz said.
The 6-foot-10 center finished with just four points in the second half, but none of them were needed.
Parker’s/Burrell’s slashing drives to the basket were nullified by a two-three zone and Poiesz’s presence at the back end of the zone.
