East Boston Knights 6, Winter Hill Cyclones 5
EAST BOSTON, MA........In a game that was threatend all night by rain the East Boston Knights outlasted the Winter Hill Cyclones in extra innings. This game was a see-saw affair as both team fought back to keep things close, but in the end it was an Omar Ortiz walk-off single that sealed it for Eastie. Ben McBride pitched all 8 innings for the Knights and helped his own cause by going 3 for 4 with 3 RBI including belting a 3 run homerun in the bottom of the 3rd. For the Cyclones Angelo Scippa was a pain all night hitting 2 homeruns of his own including a solo shot to tie things at 5 in the top of the 6th. The Knights pounded out 14 hits in this one none but bigger than Ortiz in the eighth. With 2 outs and runners at 1st and 3rd Ortiz smacked a Kevin Loveless fastball into LF as Jose Polanco skipped home for the go ahead run. |
