A very close, very well played game on both sides. Brockton went up 1-0 in the 2nd on hits by Dolan, Palmatier and Scafidi, the Thunder tied it on a walk to April, single by Laurin and a single by Steve Hattan. Then neck and neck to the 7th inning. Brockton loaded the bases on a single by Palmateiri, Russell was hit by a pitch and Lagerca singled, then Palmatieri scored on Pie's single, but Russell had to hold at 3rd on a strong throw from right field by North Andover's Frank Marr, who nailed Coyle trying to score in the 5th. Jon Story managed to get Cavallo swinging and Ted Mansulla flied to Brian Chen in center, who caught it in the gap on the run, to end the top of the 7th. The Thunder took it in the bottom of the inning with a single by Paul Laurin, a very clutch triple by Steve Hattan (2 for 3, driving in 2 runs on the day), and then a suicide squeeze by Mike Rose drove in the winning run!

Pitching and defense again tell the Thunder story, with Paul Laurin yielding 4 runs on only 3 hits, walking 4 and striking out 5.

Very solid pitching and defense for the Thunder. Jon Story, yielding only 3 hits, walking 2 and striking out 8, led the way. Several nice plays in the outfield by Brian Chen kept Newton off the board. On offense, the Thunder took an early lead with first inning singles by Chen, April, Story and Bromley, and picked up their other runs on a squeeze (April bunting Chen across after a triple), a passed ball scoring April later in that inning and an RBI single in the 6th by Brown.

A thriller. Newton headed out to a big early lead (6-0) on a clutch single by Southiere in the 4th and a 2-run home by Souza in the 5th. But the Thunder caught up with Palmer in the bottom of the 5th with 5 runs of their own with walks by April, Bromley and Brown and key hits by Laurin and Abadi, and tied it with 4 more in the 6th, ,capitalizing on walks to Marr, April, Story and Bromley and key hits by Laurin (again) and Rose. The Giants fought back with 2 in the top of the 7th to tie it on walks to Saavedra and Goldfarb, a double by Palmer and a single by Phelan, but the Thunder took it in the bottom of the 7th on walks to Chen and April and a fly to left by Story that got lost in the mist.
