MONTPELIER, Vt. – The North Adams SteepleCats scored a season-high 14 runs Monday night as they defeated the Vermont Mountaineers 14-2 at Recreation Field. Every starter in the SteepleCats lineup recorded a hit and Bo Reeder went 3-for-4, with his first two home runs of the season, out of the nine hole.
Ken Graveline pitched well for the SteepleCats, scattering eight hits and four walks over six innings while allowing just one run. Alex Kaminsky started for the Mountaineers in his season debut. He allowed three runs over his five innings of work but only one of those runs was earned.
The SteepleCats then went on to score 11 runs off of Mountaineers reliever John Flanagan. Flanagan pitched the final four innings for the Mountaineers who were short on arms Monday evening. The SteepleCats batted around against Flanagan in the fifth, scoring five times to extend the lead to 8-1. After a 1-2-3 seventh inning, the SteepleCats poured on two more runs in the eighth and four more in the ninth to go ahead 14-1.
Ryan Fraser, Tommy Mackoul and Cody Weiss pitched an inning each in relief of starter Ken Graveline. The Mountaineers were able to scratch out one run in the bottom of the ninth against Weiss to make the final score 14-2.
Graveline picked up the win for the SteepleCats while Kaminsky took the loss for the Mountaineers. The Mountaineers committed seven errors in the field, which led to eight unearned runs for the SteepleCats. The Mountaineers also stranded 12 baserunners. The game lasted three hours and five minutes, starting after a 33-minute rain delay.
The SteepleCats (6-3) have now won four straight, their longest winning streak of the season. They have Tuesday off and will take on the Newport Gulls Wednesday night in Newport, R.I. The Vermont Mountaineers (5-4) host the Holyoke Blue Sox tomorrow night. |
