Brighton Brewers 10, McKay Club Beacons 3
The second contest between the Brewers and Beacons was chippy once again. Emotions ran high in the first inning, but settled for the remainder of the game.

Brewers starter Troy Sainsbury pitched 6 solid innings, allowing only 2 unearned runs and 5 hits while collecting 8 Ks. Will Lawton (3-4 with 2 2Bs), Mike Pollak, and Brian Iafolla all enjoyed multi-hit days for Brighton.

Kent Anderson clubbed a walk-off grand slam to lead the South Boston Saints to an 8-5 win over the McKay Club Beacons Wednesday night at Ronan Park in Dorchester.
Jon Tenney led off the last inning by battling for his twentieth walk of the season. Grizzled veteran Rob Stephenson then hit a sharp line drive down the third baseline, but it was snared by Beacon's third baseman Brian Curran. Alex Fischer didn't disappoint in the next at-bat, as he promptly lined a single to the outfield. Barthel then plunked leftfielder Ben Mendelson with the first pitch of the next at-bat. After an infield flare was caught for the second out, the stage was set for Anderson. After getting ahead in the count, Anderson took an inside fastball and drove a high, towering fly ball down the left field line. It seemed as if the leftfielder might have a play, but NO! Anderson won it with a walk off! |

Savin Hill visited Ronan for game 2 of the 2009 neighborhood rivalry. They met a young man on the bump by the name of Frank Yavorski. Frank is a YBL rookie. A raw talent...even his manager had little knowledge of his ability. But, Frank made his mark in his 1st YBL start. He K'd 10 Hornets allowed only 4 base hits and no runs in 6 solid innings.
Yavorksi was not the only story. Andy McAllister had a good night with 2 hits in 3 trips with a run scored. Mike Barthel (1 RBI) & Connor Reinfurt (2 RBI) chipped in with extra base hits. John Fidalgo & Ryan Oshie had RBI hits as well.
Drew Tambling added to his amazing '09 season by stealing home unmolested in the 5th inning! Tambling is leading the way in the YBL with 21 bag snatchers thus far.
Gary Kaye went 2 for 4 for the Hornets as well. |

A's catcher Wheeler (3-3 3RBI) smashed a tremendous solo homer off Brian Curran in the 4th, but that was all the scoring Al Thomas could manage until they plated a single run in the 6th.
The Beacons left 12 men on base, but took and held the lead until the 4 run uprising. They were good enough but fortunate to pull this one off. After Tom Michael K'd - #9 batter Frank Yavorski and Drew Tambling stuck singles. Dan Ciocca walked and the tying run was forced in when Mike Barthel was hit by a pitch. Connor Reinfurt hit a towering pop up behind SS that was misplayed and Tambling came scampering home with the winner.

McKay Club Beacons 3, Chelsea Cyclones 2
One of the best games I have seen in 10 years in the YBL. Great pitching clutch plays and a mistake or two led to this 8 inning extravaganza of quality amateur baseball at Ronan Park.
Nick O'Keefe (Beacons) 7IP tossed a 3 hitter and left (with the score tied) in the 8th in favor of Brian Glenn. Glenn gave up the lead run on a balk. BUT, with the bases loaded and 2 out Mike Barthel smashed a 2 run single to walk off with ba huge win.
Matt Manganelli pithed 7 and was in line for the victory. This kid pitched his ass off all night long. Kevin Loveless came in in the 8th and blew the save.
Chelsea is the Franchise of the Year candidate in the early going. They have become a force in this league. They play with the heart of a lion.
Too bad someone had to lose this game. It was a gem from start to finish. |
