The South Boston Saints escaped with a come-from-behind 5-3 victory over the Medford Maddogs Saturday afternoon at Playstead Park in Medford. Jon Tenney led the Saints on the mound and at the plate, pitching six strong innings for the win while stroking four hits. Nick Vennochi added three hits and a clutch RBI in the top of the seventh. Tim Dacey came on in the bottom half of that inning to shut the door, sitting down the Maddogs in order while striking out two. Medford’s Tyler Middleton contributed a brilliant 12-strikeout performance only to lose behind a couple of untimely errors. Middleton had scattered 10 hits – none for extra bases – before the Saints capitalized on key miscues. Sean Callahan added a big 2-RBI single in the fourth to temporarily give Medford a 2-1 lead. South Boston looks to keeping their winning ways alive Tuesday night against Chelsea at Chelsea High School.
