Brighton Braves 10, Somerville Alibrandis 5
Braves come from behind, scoring 6 in the 6th to beat Somerville. The YBL strikeout leaders faced off against each other at Rogers Park - Martins vs. Foundas. The Braves looked to get on the board early, having 2nd and 3rd with no outs in the 1st but Foundas managed to work out of the jam with no damage. The Braves would manage to plate 3 in the 2nd with singles from Hudson and Cashman (3 RBI). Somerville would fight back with 1 run in the 4th on a Tomaro single and 3 in the 5th on a Scioli 3-run double. The Braves broke it open in the 6th on 2 walks, 2 hit batsmen, 2 1-run singles by Kerbin and Caminiti and a Schools Sac Fly.

The Big Apple Circus broke down the Big Top on City Hall Plaza and moved into McConnell Park for a one night stand. The Brighton Braves (winners of their last 12 regular season games in 2011) came out with all guns blazing. They scored 10 runs in three innings due mostly to walks and errors by the Beacons. Sam "The MAN" Shaughnessy (3-4 4RBI) blasted a mamouth 3 run HR to take advantage.
The Beacons recovered from a 10-4 deficit and won!
Drew Tambling saved the day for the Beacons. He smashed 2-HR's of his own (3-4 2R & 4RBI). Both were moon shots. His 2nd blast destroyed a motor vehicle parked outside the RF fence about 400ft away from HP. Ryan Carrier came on strong with 3 hits in 4 trips. Chris Deane, Kyle McKay and Matt Samelia also chipped in with 2 hit nights. Welcome aboard Pat Lynch (2-3 & 3RBI) had the game winning hit before the light time limit ended the game.
