MANCHESTER – With a 9-3 win at Manchester this evening, the Newport Gulls have advanced to the NECBL Semifinals to play the Pittsfield Dukes in a best of three series.
The six run victory for the Gulls completes a two game sweep of the Silkworms and puts Newport in the semifinals for the 9th time in franchise history. The Gulls will take on the Pittsfield Dukes who swept the North Adams SteepleCats on Sunday night 7-2 at Joe Wolfe Field. The Dukes are making their first playoff appearance in the NECBL and will play at Cardines Field in Newport on Tuesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35.
Alex MacKenzie (Canisius) is the probable starter for Pittsfield. MacKenzie is 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA and two complete games this season. He will be opposed by Geoff Brown (Univ of Washington) who is 4-2 on the season with a 2.23 earned run average for the Gulls.
The two teams have met six times this season with Newport winning four of the games in the series. The last meeting came on July 31st in the regular season finale for first place. The two teams battled into the 11th inning and Newport escaped with the 2-1 win.
