Sr Babe Ruth Approaches Mid-Season

hit after bloop hit fell in and allowed them to plate 2 runs in each of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th innings to jump out to a 6-0 lead. The offense just couldn’t get the big hit when needed as 9 runners were left on base in the contest. Tristin Pecevich and Steven Flynn both had multi-hot games for Southie and Geno Juliano and Macomber each added a hit. The final score from Brockton was 7-0.

Next up on June 29th was the first of two straight games vs Dorchester at Garvey Park. Jerry O’Neil was the starting pitcher for this one and had another strong outing, working a complete game striking out 10 batters while scattering only 4 hits. Southie took the lead in the bottom of the first inning after Ryan McGarrell came around after an arrant throw on a Joe Greene single. Dorchester would then score 2 runs in the top of the 2nd inning before adding another in the 3rd to take a 3-1 lead. Things stayed that way until the bottom of the 4th inning when Greene came back up to bat and proceeded to hit an inside the park 2-run HR to make it a 3-2 game. While still in the 4th inning, Tommy Flaherty then delivered a clutch 2RBI double to left field that plated O’Neil and Flynn. It would stay that way as O’Neil (2-1) fanned the final Dorchester batter in the 7th with the winning run threatening on 2nd base to give Southie a big 4-3 victory.

The team returned to Garvey Park on July 1st hope for a similar result, but Dorchester was able to flip the script, and flip the score from the previous game for a walk-off 4-3 victory of their own. Geno Juliano (2-1/2.29ERA) was the tough luck loser on the mound going a complete game with 10 K’s. Flynn had 2 hits while McGarrell, Greene, Pecevich, O’Neil, and Flaherty all added 1 hit apiece. After a short July 4th break, the team was back in action on July 6th for an evening matchup against Wollaston at Coletta Field. The holiday rust showed early and often for the defense as several early fielding miscues spotted Wollaston a 5-0 lead after the first inning. The Wollaston left handed starter kept the Southie bats and base runners at bay throughout the night with several pickoffs and timely strikeouts. Wollaston would add 2 more runs down the stretch and with the goalposts of Veterans Football Stadium visible in the distance, Wollaston would win this one by a touchdown. Jerry O’Neil (2-2/1.93ERA) struck out 4 in his 6 innings of work. Ben Fennelly, Juliano, McGarrell, and Macomber had hits for Southie.
