Methuen jumped up to a quick one run lead in the bottom of the first after back to back singles from Josh Gil and Kyle Charette, and then Bobby Cole hit the rbi double to knock Josh Gil home. The only other run of the game came in the third inning when Gil hit a one out single. He then stole second base and reached third on a wild pitch. Kyle Charette got a fielders choice to knock in Gil. The rest of the highlights from this game came from the pitching duel that was Methuen's Madden and Norfolk County's Capobianco. Capobianco gave up 2 runs on 5 hits and struck out 7. Brenden Madden threw 6 shutout innings allowing only 2 hits and struck out 6. He walked 4 and hit 1. Even though base runners were problematic at times he found a way to pitch his way out of the jams. Mark Sicard came in to pitch a perfect 7th to save the game. Next up for the Methuen Rangers is a divisional matchup with the North Shore Giants.
