Gulls take 1st game over Dukes 13-5Michael Radomski - August 06, 2008
Pittsfield Dukes
NEWPORT, RI – Kyle Conley (Univ of Washington) went 5 for 5 with 3 home runs and as the Newport Gulls won game one in the best of three series against the Pittsfield Dukes tonight at Cardines Field.
In a battle for the Southern Division Championship, Pittsfield would score first against Gulls starter Geoff Brown (Univ of Washington). Dukes second baseman Craig Hertler (San Jose State) would score on an error from shortstop Cody Grisham (Univ of Tennessee) to give Pittsfield the 1-0 advantage.
Dukes starter Mike Woytek (Wright State) would allow a leadoff single, but retire the next two hitters before entering a two-out jam. Alex Gregory (Radford University) hit an RBI single to right field to tie the game at one. Gregory would then score on the first of three home runs from Conley, a two run home run, to put Newport ahead 3-1.
Gulls centerfielder Kyle Rhoad (Eastern Michigan) added a two run home run in the second inning to give Newport a four run lead, and Conley would add another two run home run in the third inning as the Gulls led 7-1 after three.
Woytek pitched 2 2/3 innings, allowing seven runs (all earned) on seven hits. His counterpart, Geoff Brown, got himself into a few jams as well but was able to work out of them, stranding three in the Dukes third inning and eight over his six innings of work. Brown allowed two runs including a Jake Rosenbeck (Buffalo) solo home run in the sixth before leaving the ballgame.
Conley would add another two run home run in the 8th inning as Newport would go on to win game one 13-5. The two teams will meet on Wednesday night at Wahconah Park beginning at seven o’clock. Stephen Peterson (Marist College) and Louie Bernardini (Wheaton College) are listed as the probable starters. Peterson was 2-0 with a 2.91 earned run average in the regular season while Bernardini was 1-2 with a 5.91 ERA.
This is a must-win game for Pittsfield with the Dukes down by a game in the best of three series.
