Mike Barthell tossed a gem. A complete game two hitter to help his mates clinch a tie for a playoff spot and end the McKay Club two year playoff drought.
Nando Trindidade hit a sac fly to center to plate Chris Deane with the winning run in the 3rd. Barthell was the word all day as he struck out 7 and walked only one.
Shaun Farrer pitched well enough to win for the plucky Dodgers. He also went the distance allowed 2 runs on 11 scattered hits.
Now the Beacons must wait to see what South Boston does the next two nights @ Town Field. |

Adam Kulis took the bump "angry" last night and did just fine. Adam had some difficulties @ work and took his frustrations out on the Royals by allowing ony 1 unearned run and 3 scratch hits in 5 innings pitched. 19 year olds Joe Ceurvals and Dean Sandonato pitched the 5th & 6th to garner this huge win.
It is not OVAH for the Beacons, who MUST WIN against Brookline on Sunday in order to secure a spot in the 2007 YBL Championship Tournament. THEN it could only be a tie and a Play In Game on Tuesday. BUT - it is what it is and they just MUST WIN on Sunday! |

The West Roxbury v McKay Club rivalry took on a very different color last night. Not only are each team fighting for a playoff spot - they are fighting for first place in the Tarpey Conference. The Beacons resurected their hopes against Southie the night before with a come-from-behind shocker. Last night the Beacons took control from the first inning and held on to keep their playoff/first place hopes alive.
MVP - Dan Ciocca did it again. Dan has led the team in guts all year long and took the bump for his 2nd KEY start in 4 days. He held WR to 6 hits and 2 earned runs in a 6.1IP performance. Chris Dean went 4-4 and had 3 huge RBI to lead the offence for Beacons.
Once again - the McKay Club lives another day! |

Sheer Madness! Southie took a 5-0 lead that did not hold up at Ronan last night. It was a do-or-die night for Beacons as they trugged thru the 1st 4 innings of play. Rob Stephenson led the way for SB with a mamouth 2 run homer to deep left center field. McKay Club was dead in the water until some defensive mistakes allowed them back into the game.
Beacons scored all their 8 runs in the last 3 innings.
Shawn Raposo smashed a 2RBI single and Jack Owens stole home to win the game after Beacons were behind once again in the bottom of the 7th (7-4). A comback that allows the Beacons to live another day. |

McKay Club Beacons 3, Revere Rockies 2
| The McKay Club pulls off a big win in a great contest at Towne Field. Kilduff pitches well, going six plus and striking out eight, but the Rockies offenses didn’t produce when it counted. McKay took a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the 7th, where rookie-of-the-year candidate Pete John blasted a towering pinch-hit homer out of Towne to cut the lead to one. The potential story-booking finish ended there as Ciocca struck out the next two Rockies batters to end the contest. |

Savin Hill Hornets 5, McKay Club Beacons 4
Yawkey League Baseball: Tense, frustrating, teeth gnashing,nerve racking, dramatic, hearbreaking and thrilling.
This game had it all. 3 double plays, 9 outfield outs, 19 hits, 23 assists, a rundown, a balk, a sacrafice bunt, intentional walks, an attempt to hit an IBB pitch, extra innings and a walk off game winning base hit.
In the bottom of the eighth with a runner at 2B, with one out, Savin Hill's DH Dave Bonnell tried to duplicate his 20 year ago famous slap hit of an IBB pitch that won a playoff game.
But alas, not this time as the McKay Club was alert to the play. This set up Rookie catcher, Nate Hodor, who with two out an two strikes blasted the walk off hit deep down the right field line for the dramtic come from behind win. |

McKay Club Beacons 7, Brighton Black Sox 5
The 24 year rivalry between McKay Club v Brighton Sox still has some steam. Beacons took an early lead 3-0, but lost that margin when Sox plated 3 in the 3rd.
19 year old Dean Sandanato held on thru 5IP, but was removed in favor of relief artist Ryan Thomas, who was shaky but affective to seal the win.
Dan Cioca has picked up the Club all year long. Dan went 3 for 4 with 4 RBI. Rob Linn continued his hot hitting: 2 for 4 & 3 runs scored. John Pagel had the game winning 2 out double plating 3 huge runs in the top of the 7th.
Never a dull moment between these two ball clubs! |

Round two of Christina/Sullivan in front of the Comcast cameras at Ronan. This time it was Christina and the Brewers that came out on top in what turned out to be a great, old fashioned pitcher's duel (as expected).
The key hit was provided by the well-tanned veteran, A.J. Vacanti. In the bottom of the sixth and with the bases loaded and two out, Vacanti lined a 2-2 pitch past the diving shortstop to drive in the games only two runs. |

Kyle Jones (7-0 before the game)& Adams Kulis locked heads in a GREAT YBL Classic at Foggy Ross Park. The YBL leader in wins - Jones was good enough to win. Kulis went one step better. Adam was ON! He allowed only two hits thru 7 innings and pitched out of a couple jams.
The game was decided in the 2nd inning. Josh McDonnell led the inning wiht a base on balls. He advanced on a perfect sac bunt by Andy McAllister. McDonnell went further when Jones' throw went up the first base line. McDonnell was scored on an a ground out by Shawn Raposo.
There is a warrant out for the arrest of Dan Ciocca of McKay Club. He murdered 3 bats in 3 at-bats! |

McKay Club Beacons 7, Somerville Alibrandis 1
It's tough to defeat Somerville. Only way is to hit well; play defensive ball and do not let them into or back into the game. Beacons did just that @ Ronan. Mike Barthell was his old nasty self. He pitched 7 innings gave up an unearned run and rolled grounder after grounder for his 1st win of '07.
Barthell was assisted by the hot stick of Rob Linn: 3 for 3 - 2 rus scored 2RBI and a smash for a 1st inning solo HR (#2 in '07). Dan Ciocca added a smash in the 1st for a 2 run HR. He leads the team w/15RBI. Ciocca was 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored and 3 RBI.
Poor defence has plagued the Beacons all year. BUT - they pulled off 4 tremendous double plays to assist their pitcher. Good win against the best team in the YBL! |

Beacons came off a 3 game losing streak to defeat a very good team and one of the best YBL pitchers Kevin Christina last night. The 8-4 win saw Sean Sullivan rebound after 2 losses in a row. Sully only allowed 3 hits, but was a tad wild walking 10 and allowing 4 runs - 2 were earned. He struck out 8 Brewers. Ryan Thomas killed a 6th inning rally for McKay Club and shut down the Brew Crew in the 7th.
Rob Linn struck a solo homer in the first going 3 for 4 with 2RBI & 2 runs scored. Dana Levensaler was 2 for 4 - 2RBI and 2 runs scored. He also pulled off a great double play on a fly ball in the 5th. Dan Ciocca was 2 for 4 w/2 doubles an RBI and 1 run scored. Andy McAllister was perfect on the night. Deuce was 3 for 3 2 doubles an RBI 1 run scored and he was struck by a pitch. |

At the "DUST BOWL" in Somerville the Alibrandis Nine pushed across the winning run in the bottom of the 7th to beat a very tough McKay club.
Steve Szathmary outduelled Sean Sullivan to gain the win. Guess our double "S" was just a bit better this night!
Offensively for Somerville it was the table setters plus 9 that did the job. White, McDonough and Mendonca each collected 2 hits. McDonough drove in two, scored two...White, scored and drove in one. Mendonca scored!
Bernie Driscoll drove home the winning run with no outs in the 7th.
Somerville moves to 13-0! |

Chelsea Royals came to play and made the Beacons work hard for their 6-3 victory @ Ronan. Jack Owens led the way with a towering bases loaded triple in the 2nd. Beacons scored 5 in that stanza.
Adam Kulis notched his 2nd win against no losses in 5 strong innings. He was spelled by Josh McDonnell, who came on to shut the door in the 6th & 7th for the save.
McKay Club tied for 1st in the Tarpey Division (9-5 record) & lead the YBL in hitting with a .322 team BA. Everyone played and had fun at the old ball yard! |

A back and forth battle results in Luke Guarino's first win of the 2007 season on the hill. Rookie Rich Dumas also gets his first save. Not the prettiest of games, but there was plenty of action as the two teams total 19 runs, 22 hits and 6 errors. Starter Ken Kilduff only goes three innings as each team also uses four arms to get through the evening. Rockies shortstop Steve Corda has a huge night going 3-4 HR, Double, 2 R, 3 RBI, BB and AJ Bucciarelli and Kyle Philson each add two hits a piece in the Rockies attack.
Four Beacon's also turn in multi-hit nights in the losing effort. |

St. Mark's v St. Margaret's. Tri-District v Mill Stream. Savin Hill v McKay Club continues a historic Dorchester rivalry in baseball. This 35 year legacy brings much to the table. Veterans like Dave Bonnell & John Pagel both in their 40's can tell the tales of bigon years.
Friday night was a rekindling of that ancient Dot Rat rivalry. The names have been changed - but the story is a vibrant one of competition between the white lines. An all out war took place at Town Field. McKay Club prevailed against the plucky Hornets. Beacons scored 5 runs in the 6th off Chris Alden and Ryan Thomas expunged a 5th inning Hornet rally to garner the win for McKay Club.
Rob Linn led the way for The Beacons - he went 4-4 with a RBI & run scored. Dana Levensaler and Chris Dean chipped in going 3 for 4 & 2 for 3 respectivly. Dan Ciocca smashed a 2 run single in the 6th to get the 5 run assault going.

Ryan Thomas calmed the pending storm by striking out two and ending the Dodger rally. He was then relieved by Sean Sullivan, who was cheated out of his game one start win. Sully shut the Dodgers down by striking out 4 in 2IP.
Whitmore (2 for4) banged a 2 run homer in the 5th for the Dodgers.
McKay Club scored on an error in the bottom of the 6th. Tough loss for the Dodgers, who faught back all night long. BUT - a huge win after a dissapointing loss in Game One for the Beacons. |
