    Local roundup: Bacon holds off Stonington 13-6

    Colchester — Bacon Academy held off Stonington for a 13-6 victory over the Bears in an Eastern Connecticut Conference Division II football game on Saturday.

    Stonington (1-7, 0-4), drove to the Bacon 7 with 1 minute, 12 seconds remaining, but were called for an illegal motion penalty on a fourth-and-two play, and a pass from the 12 on the next play was incomplete.

    Playing a muddy field and in windy conditions, the Bears grabbed an early 6-0 in the first quarter on Nate Miller's 1-yard touchdown run, but Bacon (2-6, 2-1) took a 7-6 lead in the second quarter on a 68-yard touchdown run by Jake Cavallo.

    The Bobcats extended their lead on another long TD run, this one by Jon-Michael Murray for 73 yards midway through the fourth quarter.
