The East Boston Knights welcomed the Brighton Minutemen to McConnell field for a Father's day matinee. The Minutemen struck early with 2 unearned runs in the top of the first off Knights starter Branden Eaton. The Knights scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame to tie things up 2 - 2 and scored another pair in the 2nd to take a 4 - 2 lead. That's all the run support Eaton would need. Eaton who is off to a hot start pitched well one once again. He settled right in pitching another complete game striking out 11 Minutemen enroute to his 3rd win of the season. Offensively for the Knights Chris Dowd led the way going 3 for 3 with an RBI and raising his average to .471 on the season. Ace DiNapoli and Wilson Mercado added 2 hits a piece for the hometown team. The Knights remain in first place in the Yaz division at 7 - 2. Next up for the Knights comes Somerville on Monday night at "The Stadium" in Eastie.
