Newport slips by SteepleCats 8-6Chad Cooper - July 02, 2008
North Adams SteepleCats
The Newport Gulls scored a pair of runs in the top of the ninth inning, edging out the North Adams SteepleCats 8-6.
Newport hopped on the board in the top of the first inning on an RBI double off the bat of Mike Tamsin. The Gulls doubled the lead to 2-0 on a second inning homer from Jack Murphy. Two more runs came across for Newport in the third as Ryan Wiegand delivered an RBI double, followed later in the inning by a sacrifice fly by Kyle Conley for a 4-0 Gulls edge.
After being no-hit through the first four innings, North Adams came to life in the fifth as following a fly out by the first batter of the inning; the SteepleCats proceeded to crank out six hits in a row including back-to-back triples off the bats of Greg Van Horn and Kevin Carby. All told in the inning, North Adams sent 11 batters to the plate, collecting eight hits and six runs to take a 6-4 lead.
The ‘Cats weren’t able to cruise from there though, as Newport put runners on second and third with one out in the top of the sixth, but coming on in relief, Tim Norton was able to strike out Jack Murphy and get David Cunningham to ground out to second to end the threat.
North Adams held the lead into the eighth, but were unable to hang on as Newport scored a pair of runs in each the eighth and ninth to take an 8-6 lead.
Geoff Brown (1-0) picked up the win for the Gulls with Dan Mahoney recording his second save. Dayton Marze (0-1) took the loss for North Adams.
North Adams will now play on the road on Wednesday and Thursday before coming home for an Independence Day game against the Danbury Westerners. The July 4 game has a special 6:30 start time and will conclude with post game fireworks. The contest also kicks off a four game homestand for North Adams with games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday at Joe Wolfe Field.
