Hopkinton High School baseball standout Joshua Fischer, who just completed his junior year, announced that he plans to play collegiate baseball at Division 1 Fairfield University.

Fischer, a left-handed pitcher, helped the Hillers go 16-6 and reach the Division 2 state championship game in 2019. He started the final game and pitched four-plus innings of one-run ball in Hopkinton’s 2-0 loss to St. Mary’s of Lynn.

“I am excited to announce my verbal commitment to further my academic and baseball career at Fairfield University,” Fischer tweeted on July 2. “Thank you to my coaches, family & friends who have supported me along the way. Go Stags!!”
