SteepleCats ran their winning streak to three, 7-0 win over Twisters - June 20, 2008
Tim Boyce threw seven no-hit innings before reaching his pitch limit as the North Adams SteepleCats ran their winning streak to three with a 7-0 win over the Torrington Twisters.
Boyce was perfect early on, retiring the first 20 batters in a row before hitting Josh Chasse for the first Torrington baserunner. The University of Rhode Island right-hander finished his evening with seven no-hit innings, walking none and striking out a career high nine.
North Adams played some small ball to perfection in the top of the first as Nick Shaw led off with a walk for the second night in a row and stole second. Two batters later, Kevin Carby hit the SteepleCats first triple of the season into right-centerfield, driving home Shaw for a 1-0 ‘Cats lead.
More offense followed in the second inning as Mike Donato led off with a single through the middle. Two batters later, Greg Van Horn was hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second. T. J. Grieg came up and broke out of some recent struggles drilling a double into the left-centerfield gap, driving home both runners for a 3-0 North Adams advantage. The ‘Cats got another run in the fourth as with runners on first and second, Rob Noe lined a double into rightfield to bring around Paul Hoilman. Also trying to score on the play from first was Joe Leonard, but a perfectly executed double-cut relay from the Twisters from Brian Baudinet to Corey Shimada to Bryson Rahier cut down Leonard at the plate keeping it 4-0 North Adams.
Leading off the fifth, the SteepleCats continued to score throughout the game as Brian Adams led off with his first homerun of the season. In the seventh, Rob Noe, struck again, delivering a two out, two-run single to right, scoring Paul Hoilman and Mike Donato to up the ‘Cats edge to 7-0.
Boyce (2-0) ran his scoreless streak to 15 innings with his performance and has yet to allow an earned run on the season. Brett Miller (1-1) took the loss for Torrington.
The SteepleCats remain on the road for one more game at 6:30 p.m. against Holyoke on Friday. North Adams returns to Joe Wolfe Field on Saturday, June 21 against the North shore Navigators for Wild Literature Night. Book giveaways will take place all night as the SteepleCats get together with the North Adams Public Library to help promote the summer reading program of Wild Reads @ Your Library.
