Anthony Del Prete delivered yet another clutch pitching performance for the Boston Bombers, who took game 2 of the BMBL Semi-Finals against the South Shore Spartans by a final of 7-1. Deli scattered 6 hits en route to the CG victory, giving up 1 ER and striking out 5. The host Spartans received another strong pitching performance by veteran left-hander Tim Troup, but some clutch Bombers 2-out hits proved to be the difference. Anthony Perry's 2-run single with 2 outs in top half of the second gave the Bombers a 3-0 lead that they would not relinquish. Juan Parra provided a pair of RBI knocks and Kevin O'Hara scored twice. Doc Desroches (2 runs) & Jonny Hayes also roped doubles as part of their multi-hit performances. Spartans shortstop Bryan Curran single-handedly kept the game close with a trio of insane defensive plays in the field. He also scored the team's lone run on an RBI single by 1B Chris Deane.

Defensive miscues by both teams turn an otherwise excellent game between first place teams into something of an adventure. Up 6 nothing, the Bombers appeared destined to add to their 13 game win streak. The Spartans, however, take advantage and score 13 runs in the 5th inning highlighted by a Pat Nicholson three run jack into the net that essentially put the game out of reach. Nicholson, Deane and Perron each with two hits for the Spartans. Boussiere picks up the win with six strong innings. Lightbody, Hayes, Desroches, and Coscione with multi-hit games for the Bombers.

Tim Troup for the Spartans and Brett O'Keefe for the A's in a damp summertime pitchers' duel at Nipper. Troup scatters 6 hits for the complete game shutout. O'Keefe with the tough luck loss. Deadlocked at zeros in the 6th, the Spartans finally push one across on a double by Bryan Curran and an unfortunate wet ball wild pitch. The Spartans add an insurance run in the 7th on an RBI single by Franz Strassmann. The Spartans end a threat and the game in the bottom of the 7th on a nifty double play by Curran and Giblin. McIntyre and Krall with two hits each for the A's. Curran, Enos and Strassmann with two apiece for the Spartans. Excellent defense by both teams under less than ideal conditions.
