Bryan Curran also went 3 for 4 with a run scored. A tremendous pitching performance by Big Game Mike Barthel (6-3) propelled the Beacons into a tie for the Yaz Division lead. Nice recovery from an awful Sunday afternoon performance. Big Bats, Great Pitching, solid D and closed mouths win ball games!

Beacon Hill's Jon Merritt and Brighton's Matt Nicholson battled for 8 innings at Rogers Park before the Dodgers finally broke the deadlock in the top of the 8th. Merritt, surely a YBL rookie-of-the-year candidate, threw a complete-game 4-hit shutout, settling down nicely after an early Sox threat in the 1st. Merritt struck out 6 and walked only 1 on his way to his 4th win of 2010. Nicholson was also very impressive, scattering 5 hits over 8 IP, striking out and walking 2. Nicholson worked through a couple of jams early on, and nearly battled his way out of the 8th. The Dodgers got a lead-off single from Jerrad Ryan in the 8th. After Ryan stole 2nd, Jay Shatto sac-bunted him to 3rd. Gregg Smith was then HBP and stole 2nd, and the Dodgers had a serious threat. Nicholson got Mike Navarro to pop out, which brought Nick Tapper to the dish with 2 outs. Tapper blasted a double on a 1-2 pitch to right-center, scoring Ryan and Smith.

The Dodgers win a tight one at Ronan tonight against the Cyclones, 2-0. Beacon Hill starter Kyle Breidenstine tossed a complete-game shutout, scattering 5 hits while walking 1 and striking out 8. The Dodgers got it rolling in the 2nd inning against Winter Hill starter Sam Kennedy-Smith, who pitched great in the loss for the Cyclones. After back-to-back Dodger singles by 1B Steve DeFusco and C Bryan Duffy and a walk from RF Steve Walsh, LF Joe Patrolia grounded to 3rd, scoring DeFusco and Duffy (on a throwing error to 1B). That would be all the Dodgers would get, and 'The Moose' held the Cyclone bats in check all night to get a huge W for Beacon Hill.

The Dodgers and Bulldogs put on a show at Maplewood, playing 10 innings to settle a stalemate due to great pitching and solid defense from both squads. Kyle Breidenstine pitched 9 2/3 innings of shutout ball to earn his 3rd win of the year. 'The Moose' was back to his old form on a humid night, allowing only 3 hits while striking out 4, walking 3 and getting 16 groundball outs. Malden got a solid couple out of starter Jason Paul, then great bullpen work from Ken Olisky and Jon Shepard. The Dodgers threatened in the 5th (bases loaded, 1 out) and 7th (1 out Steve Walsh 2B), but Olisky got out of both jams. The only run came on a shot off of the bat of DH Steve DeFusco. DeFusco hit a 10th inning solo HR to left-center field to take the lead. DeFusco then came on to pitch with 2 on and 2 out in the 10th. After a HBP, DeFusco calmed down to get the K and the save.

Beacon Hill and South Boston went to extras to decide a great game at Ronan Park. It was a pitcher's duel between Dodger rookie Jon Merritt and Saints' starter Jim Farrell. Both pitchers pitched extremely well and earned a no decision. Merritt threw 8 innings of 8 hit, 2 run ball, striking out 7 and walking only 1.

Both teams played solid defense, with Dodger CF Kevin Skop cutting down the go-ahead run in the 7th with a seed to C Bryan Duffy. The Saints got the play of the game from SS Andrew Larocque, who made a diving play up the middle to rob LF Joe Patrolia of a hit and the go-ahead run in the 6th. SS Mike Navarro had the bases loaded walk-off single with two down in the 9th to win a great game, scoring PR Tyler Borosavage. Dodger reliever Marc Skipper threw the 9th for the win. 2B Gregg Smith had 3 hits.

The Dodgers break out in a big way at Cleveland Circle, banging out 17 hits to defeat the Al Thomas A's 13-8. Dodger rookie-starter Jon Merritt (W, 3-1) had another strong showing, scattering 9 hits while striking out and walking 4.

The Dodgers win a crazy one at The Cliff, beating the Minutemen in come-back/walk-off fashion. Brighton got off to a quick start against Dodger starter Chris Michienzi.

Knights come through with their first Yawkey League victory. Defense and pitching led the Knights to a 3 - 2 win over the Dodgers on a night that Josh Valerio would shine. Valerio pitched 7 strong innings allowing 1 earned run while striking out 6 to get the win for the home team. Offensively, Matt Perrin had a big 2 out single in the first to take an early 1-0 lead. The Knights scrapped together 2 more runs in the 2nd courtesy of a Geoff Harris fielders choice that scored both Jose Polanco and Joe Moritz (all the way from second base) to take a 3 - 2 lead they would not relinquish. For the Dodgers, Kyle Breidenstine got through some early difficulties and settled down to keep the game close for the visitors.

Beacon Hill brings another solid team game to defeat the Brighton Black Sox 6-5 on a cool night at Ronan Park. Dodger rookie southpaw Jon Merritt (W, 1-0) threw six innings of one-hit ball to win his YBL debut. Merrit allowed two runs, walked four and struck out seven. Sox starter Jared Rooney (L, 0-1) pitched very well in the loss, allowing only three earned runs. Offensively, DH Joe Patrolia (3-for-3, 2 R, SB) has now hit safely in his first six at bats of the season. 3B Jerrad Ryan (3-for-4, 2 R, 2 RBI) and CF Jay Shatto (2-for-3, BB, SB, RBI) also had good nights at the plate. Shatto, a 5 time gold-glover, made what will have to be the catch of the year (best I've seen in 11 YBL seasons). In the 6th, Sox CF Eddie Skeffington connected on a Merritt fastball to deep left-center field. Shatto, on his horse on contact, made a running/leaping catch to rob a sure HR while tumbling over the fence and holding onto the ball.

On a cold night at McConnell, Kyle Breidenstine (W, 1-0) picks up where he left off in 2009, throwing five innings of one-run (unearned), two-hit ball. The Moose finished with two walks and six strikeouts. Relievers Steve DeFusco and J.J. Miller pitched the 6th and 7th for Beacon Hill. DH Joe Patrolia (3-for-3, R, 2B, RBI) and new Dodger SS Mike Navarro (2-for-4, R, 2B,) both had great night for the Dodgers. 1B Nick Tapper and catcher Bryan Duffy had an RBI triple each. Six other Dodgers added hits, including RF Joe Barresi singling in his first at-bat as a Dodger. CF Jay Shatto made a great diving catch to rob McKay catcher Kyle McKay of extra bases. For the Beacons, McKay (2-for-3, R, RBI) led the offense all night. Mike Barthel pitched four innings of solid relief for starter Adam Kulis (L, 0-1).
