The Acton Orioles defeated a very worthy Watham Braves team 2-0 to win the Boston MSBL Masters championship at Acton-Boxboro High School. The game was a pitchers duel with Larry Shade and Barry Foster each going the distance. Dennis Fontecchio scored in the bottom of the sixth on Steve Fahey's infield single. Steve Pratt scored on a wild pitch to provide an insurance run. Shade fanned the last batter in the top of the 7th to end the game. The Orioles look forward to more great games with the Braves next season.

Incredible performance by Don Lindsey, entering the game in the 3rd inning with the bases loaded and 2 outs, strikes out the Gray's Titus (who had a monster double in the 1st) to kill the rally. Don goes on to strike out 10 in 4 1/3 innings. Thunder "d" helped with good running catches by Mike Quinn and Dave Brown on the right side of the infield. Thunder took the lead in the home half of the 3rd on a leadoff bunt single by Rick Armand, who stole second and scored on Frank Marr's RBI single. Frank stole 2nd and Tim Bradley knocked him in. Dave Grady singled to start the 5th and scored the insurance run. Great series between the Grays and Thunder. Richie pitched well for the Grays, striking out 5.

Another unbelievable game as Waltham wins 7-6. Barry Foster goes the distance on 4 days rest for the win. Tight game until the Braves score 5 in the 6th. Lots of offense with 30 hits in the game. Metro led 3-2 in 6th but Braves score 5 to go up 7-3. Metro with 2 outs in 7th have a furious rally to score 3 and have the tying run thrown out at the plate to end the game. Multiple hits by Burns, Ron Pelletier, Foster, O'brien, Grammar, and Vallerand to lead Braves attack. Moise, Garafano had 2 hits each for Metro.

Frank Marr of the Thunder hurls a gem, after a shaky start, scattering 3 hits to pace the Thunder to victory. The top 6 Thunder batters (Armand, Onello, Marr, Bradley, Brown and Inangelo) had consecutive hits to break open the game in the 3rd inning. Several defensive gems turned: John Inangelo at 3B, Mike Quinn with a 4-4-3 double play at 2B, and Don Lindsey and Jimmy Wick combined to stop a smash in the final inning. The Gray's Titus ran down several Thunder drives in CF.

Braves force a game 3 with a 5-2 win. Red Sox score 2 in the first off Barry Foster, but Foster shuts them down the rest of the way. Braves offense was led by Strassman 2-2 and a bases clearing double by Locke to break a 2-2 tie. Garafano and Bonnano had 2 hits each for Metro and Cappozi pitched very well in the loss

Unbelievable game! The Braves jumped out to an 8-1 lead when the Sox chipped away. This game had a ton of offense on both sides and some awesome defensive outfield plays that helped the Sox edge out the win behind Russ Ward's 3.2-IP long pitching relief performance to hold down a strong Braves offense. Several Sox had multiple hits and the keys late in the game by Eric Kimble, Dave Garofano, Marco Vitozzi and Vin Bonanno had back to back doubles to tie and win the game in the bottom of the 7th!
