Henry Spitzer launched a 3-run homer over the left field fence at Somerville's Trum Field to give the Hornets a 4-3 victory.

Lacking any of the usual starting pitching, Savin Hill relied on 2B Alex Criscuolo and CF Dave Clark to keep the game close. Nate Hodor pitched the final two innings, tight-rope walking to his second save of the season and the week. He walked 2 and another reach on an error, but didn't allow a hit.

Saint batters, Paul Larocque and Bryan Evans each had 2 hits a piece. For Savin Hill, Pat McClay and Henry Spitzer each collected 2 hits.

The Saints, however, winners of 5 of their last 7 before this one, may have let one get away. A base running mistake in the third, followed by missing a force play at the plate in the top of the forth cost South Boston a couple of runs. Leaving 10 men on base on top of that left the door open for Spitzer's heroics.

And he walked right through....
