Grays 3, White Sox 1
The Grays took Game 1 behind another masterpiece by Bill Riggieri.
The White Sox struck first scoring 1 in the top of the 3rd when Tony Tomaro hit a 2-out RBI single. The Grays answered right back in the bottom of the 3rd. Paul Branche worked a leadoff walk & Mike Barba laid down a SAC bunt to move Branche to 2nd. Steve Baldassari stepped up to bat with 2 outs & came through with a clutch 2-out RBI single tieing the game at 1-1. Baldassari advanced to 2nd on the throw home.
Tad Beagley followed suit with a 2-out RBI single of his own giving the Grays the 2-1 lead.
In the 5th, Grant Emde led off with a 2B to RF. Baldassari SAC bunted Emde to 3rd setting the table for Mike Gulinello to deliver another 2-out RBI single.
Victor Ruiz pitched very well in the losing effort for the White Sox. Ruiz was hitting the corners all game long & made it difficult for Grays hitters to find their groove.
Game 2: Lawrence, MA @ 8pm Monday. |
