Dukes Blow Away Twisters 8-2By Michael Radomski - July 12, 2008
Pittsfield Dukes
TORRINGTON, Conn. — The Pittsfield (Mass.) Dukes defeated the Torrington Twisters on Friday night 8-2 at Fuessenich Park.
Pittsfield got off to the early lead by scoring four runs in the first off Twisters starter Andrew Triggs (USC). Chris Edmondson (Le Moyne) gave the Dukes the 1-0 lead with an RBI triple to center field. Matt Adams (Slippery Rock) would add an RBI single two batters later, and Kevin Clements would deliver with a 2 run double to put Pittsfield ahead 4-0.
The lead was more than enough for Dukes starter Kyle Vazquez (Franklin Pierce). Vazquez would pitch seven innings allowing two runs (1 earned) and striking out five. The Twisters would score a run in the bottom of the third off Vazquez, but Pittsfield bounced back for two more runs in the fourth inning.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Torrington trailed 6 to 2 and had two runners on with one out. Vazquez buckled down retiring Chase Austin (Elon) on a groundout and striking out Jaren Matthews (Rutgers) to end the inning.
Pittsfield would score two more runs in the ninth inning as both Jake Rosenbeck (Buffalo) and Craig Hertler produced RBI singles against Craig Schneider (Alderson Bradley College) who pitched the final three innings for Torrington. Hertler finished 4 for 6 in the game with a run scored.
With the Pittsfield win, and the Newport loss, the Dukes improve to 13-11 on the season, and sit a half game back behind the Gulls. The Dukes return home tonight and will host the Danbury Westerners in a seven o’clock game at Wahconah Park. It’s Dalton night at the park and Alex MacKenzie (Canisius) is the probable starter.
The Dukes will also host the Torrington Twisters next week for a doubleheader on Friday, July 18, beginning at 6 o'clock. The Twisters and Dukes will play two games, each scheduled for seven innings, and then STAR 101.7-FM and WBRK 1340-AM will sponsor the fireworks show after the second game.
Fans can listen to the game to and all Pittsfield Dukes games on the NECBL Broadcast Network.
Tickets are still available for Dukes' games at Wahconah Park. Tickets can be purchased at the Dukes box office at 105 Wahconah Street or by calling 413-447-DUKE (3853). |
