WESTPORT–Two formidable defenses met yesterday on the pitch at Loeffler Field.

The Danbury Hatters hadn’t allowed a goal all season. The Wreckers had only once allowed a ball to completely cross their goal line.

But, in the 54th minute a Hatters penalty kick zoomed toward the back of the goal. Keeper Jacob Greenberger miraculously grabbed the shot, preventing the Hatters from scoring.
