SteepleCats' Late Rally Falls Short Against Newport

By Ben McDonoughFor iBerkshires.com
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The North Adams SteepleCats had two runners in scoring position in the bottom of the ninth inning but could not complete the comeback, falling to the Newport Gulls, 5-1, at Joe Wolfe Field on Tuesday night.
 
The game got off to a disastrous start for North Adams as Newport scored twice in the opening inning without recording a hit. SteepleCats starter Samuel Formus struggled with his command, issuing three walks to begin the game. A fielder's choice plated the first run before a sacrifice fly from Cole Johnson made it 2-0.
 
Despite the rocky opening frame, North Adams' pitching staff settled in. Tyler Tedeschi entered in the first inning and immediately escaped further trouble by striking out Mason Ligenza with the bases loaded. Tedeschi then tossed 3 and two-thirds scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while striking out four and repeatedly working around traffic.
 
The SteepleCats' offense, meanwhile, was quiet early against Newport starter Burkley Bounds. North Adams did not collect its first hit until the fourth inning.
 
That spark came off the bat of Evan Meier, who ripped a double that hugged the third-base line and barely stayed fair. One batter later, Nelphie Lopez delivered the SteepleCats' biggest hit of the night, lining an RBI single to right field to score Meier and cut the deficit to 2-1.
 
The momentum was short-lived, however. Sean Stephenson followed by grounding into his second double play of the evening, ending the threat.
 
Newport answered in the fifth. Cade Brown singled into left-center field and promptly stole second base. After advancing to third on a flyout, Brown crossed the plate on a passed ball to extend the Gulls' lead to 3-1.
