This game was what playoff baseball is all about, as Scituate wins in 10 innings to move on to the semifinals. It was a classic playoff pitchers duel between Larry Cibotti and Steve Hueston, both of whom went the distance. Cibotti picks up the win, scattering 7 hits and striking out 12. Hueston also pitches well enough to win, striking out 18 Tides. Tides start the scoring in the 3rd when Jason Pithie singles and is driven in by a RBI triple of the bat of Phil Banks. Scituate would add another run in the 7th as Thom Holdgate leads off with a single and is driven in by a Dan O'Brien single to right. But Medford would not go quietly, as in the 8th Kiley singles and Collins reaches via a tough hop error. Both would score via a fielders choice and single. In the 10th Brendan Stone leads off with an infield single. Hero of the night O'B comes through again with a two-out RBI triple to drive in the eventual winning run. Medford woul
