John Malloy on a hitting streak.
NORTH ADAMS — Tim Boyce pitched six scoreless innings and Cody Stanley went 4-for-5 with four RBI on Saturday as the North Adams SteepleCats dropped the Manchester (Conn.) Silkworms 12-1.
The SteepleCats jumped all over the Silkworms in the top of the first inning. With two runs already on the board and the bases loaded, Jonny Smith endeared himself to the Joe Wolfe Field faithful as on a 3-2 count with two outs, all the runners were breaking from their bases as Smith deposited a single into rightfield, clearing the bases for a 5-0 North Adams lead.
RBI singles from Paul Hoilman and Mike Donato in the second made it 7-0. In the third, North Adams loaded the bases and Cody Stanley cashed in with an RBI single, plating Jonny Smith and Ryan Semeniuk to make it 9-0 SteepleCats.
In the sixth, North Adams struck again as with one out, Stanley tripled to centerfield. Two batters later, Mike Donato walked. Greg Van Horn came up and singled to right, scoring Stanley. The ball was bobbled in right by Joe Cotter allowing Donato to come around from first to score and make it 11-0.
The two teams would trade runs in the bottom of the eighth and top of the ninth for the 12-1 final.
Meanwhile, as North Adams was pounding Manchester's pitching, Tim Boyce (5-1) was mowing down Silkworms hitters, scattering six hits, striking out seven. John Malloy had a first inning single, extending his hitting streak to 13 games. Brian Pendergast (1-5) took the loss for Manchester.
The last game of the homestand is on Sunday as the SteepleCats celebrate Veterans Night at Joe Wolfe Field. Anyone who brings a valid military ID will receive free admission to the game.
