North Shore Giants 3, South Shore Cardinals 2
Matchup of the shores as the North Shore Giants travelled to the South Shore to take on the undefeated, 10-0 South Shore Cardinals.
Cards got one early in their half of the 1st to take a 1-0 lead through 1. Giants bat 7 in their half of the 2nd to take a 3-1 lead by way of 2 RBI singles from Justin Oblenes and Brian Maynard. Cards fight back in the bottom half of the 2nd to make it a 3-2 game after 2. Huge defensive play in the 4th by Brian Wilkins and Brendan Mageary getting the out at home on a ground ball going 6-2 preserving the 1 run lead. 3-2 would be the final with the Giants getting a hard-nosed win on the road.
John Surette (5-1) picked up his 5th win of the year through a gritty 4 innings. Mark Infurna (S,2) worked through 3 innings protecting the Giants' 1 run lead earning his 2nd save of the year.
Giants make what seems to be their annual trip to Pepperrell on the 16th for 2 against the Red Dogs. |
