SteepleCats fall to Gulls 7-3 - June 12, 2008
The North Adams SteepleCats couldn’t get past a six-run third inning as the Newport Gulls came away with a 7-3 win. The Newport Gulls got on the board first in that third inning when, with the bases loaded Ryan Wiegand walked to force in a run. Two pitches later, Alex Gregory doubled to rightfield, driving home two more to make it 3-0 Newport. Before the inning was over, the Gulls tacked on three more runs to extend the lead to 6-0. The SteepleCats chipped away with a run in the top of the fourth. After John Malloy walked, he moved to second on a balk. On the very next pitch, Ryan Semeniuk singled to left to score Malloy and make it 6-1. North Adams came closer in the fifth inning as Kevin Carby led off with double and stole third. Nick Shaw then walked and stole second. Two batters later, Joe Leonard drilled a hot shot to the shortstop Cody Grisham. Grisham was unable to handle the ball, having it carom into centerfield allowing both Carby and Shaw to score, cutting the Newport lead to 6-3. The Gulls would tack on a run in seventh to make it 7-3 on an RBI double from Mike Melillo. Dan Benz (0-2) took the loss for the SteepleCats as he was charged with all six runs in the third inning. Craig Crubmly came in Benz and pitched magnificently, tossing 4.2 innings, allowing one run and striking out six. The SteepleCats come home for three of the next four home games starting with Thursday’s contest against Danbury. It will be Beach Night at Joe Wolfe Field with fans encouraged to wear their Hawaiian shirts and board shorts to the game. The first 100 fans into the ballpark who come in beach attire will receive a beach themed giveaway item. Matt Sommo (0-0, 1.50) will start for the SteepleCats. Friday is Rivalry Night, sponsored by MCLA as the Battle of the Berkshires kicks off as North Adams takes on the Pittsfield Dukes. The weekend concludes on Sunday with a Father’s Day game against Team USA. All three games start at 7:00 p.m.
