Twisters Win in Suspended Game Against DukesBy Michael Radomski
Pittsfield Dukes
06:13PM / Monday, July 28, 2008
PITTSFIELD — In a suspended game resumed from July 18, the Torrington (Conn.) Twisters kept their playoff hopes alive Monday with a 1-0 victory at Wahconah Park.
On July 18, Torrington took a first inning lead against Pittsfield Dukes starter Alex MacKenzie (Canisius) on an RBI single from Joe De Pinto (USC). Twister starter Andrew Triggs (USC) retired Craig Hertler (San Jose State) and was ahead of Jason Martin (San Jose State) 1-2 when the game went into a rain delay and was later postponed.
In the continuation of the game Monday afternoon, Michael Ness (Duke) took over for Pittsfield while Alex Valadja (JMU) came in to pitch for Torrington. Both pitchers kept the opposition scoreless as they piled up the strikeouts.
Ness pitched the rest of the way for the Dukes only allowing an infield single to Jimmy Rivas (New Haven) in the third inning. The right handed pitcher retired eighteen of the 19 hitters he faced, keeping the Dukes' offense in the game, and striking out four hitters.
Valadja also kept the Dukes off the scoreboard allowing four hits and striking out six in his 5 2/3 innings of relief. Valadja would get into a jam in the 3rd and 5th innings but was able to work himself out of trouble.
In the bottom of the third, Valadja set down the first two hitters but, but following back to back singles, Chris Edmondson (Le Moyne) would draw a walk to load up the bases. Jason Krizan (Dallas Baptist) then struck out to end the inning leaving three runners on base.
In the fifth, Perry Silverman (Canisius) led off with a single, but Billy Messer (Slippery Rock) failed to drop down a sacrifice bunt and struck out. Hertler and Martin would both ground-out as the left-hander worked out of another jam.
Closer Robert Chimpky (Utah) came into the game in the seventh and retired the Dukes in order to preserve the 1-0 victory.
The win marks the first time Torrington has defeated the Dukes this season as the Twisters improve to 13-23. Torrington will travel home for a night off Monday, and host the Pittsfield Dukes in a doubleheader Tuesday beginning at 5.
Pittsfield's record drops to 22-14 and the Dukes will host the Keene (N.H.) Swamp Bats in the second game of their twi-night doubleheader. Louie Bernardini (Wheaton College) will start Game 2 with a record of 1-1 and an earned run average of 5.85. Game 2 is scheduled to begin at 7 o’clock at Wahconah Park.
