Edition4 – Dice Baseball Classic

PBC BASEBALL SEASON 1, EDITION 4

For second straight night

Railroaders score three in final.

Essex lead-off man Hal Kinnaird started the contest with a bang, delivering the very pitch from Station hurler Petey Deedhams over the left field seats in the bottom of the 1st to give his team a 1-0 lead. But both pitchers would buckle down after the early mistake, taking the one run contest into the fifth..

Anthony Peel was especially impressive, as he held the powerful Railroaders hitless through four, and retired 11 of the first 12 batters faced.
The no-hitter would not last all night. In the top of the 5th Phinaeus Yarborough connected with a 1-0 fastball for an opposite field homerun, knotting the game at one. Then in the 6th, Gustave Kraeger doubled just out of reach of a diving Cassius Sizemore with two out, and Fieldon Ray Vine followed with a homerun to right that appeared to just skim the glove of Emerson Shaft as he attempted make the catch at the wall. It was Vine’s team-leading 5th homerun of the year.

Essex ready to end skid against Auburn

Their offense, while not necessarily overpowering, did everything right in producing scoring opportunities and making the most of them. Walks, sacrifices, stolen bases and timely hits gave Lake Wampaug starter Zachary Hulowitz a slim but sufficient cushion early on.

Franchises Look to Make Big Name

The Lonelyville Sheriffs sent the Twin Hills Hilltoppers packing as Ed Stackhouse cleared the bases with a walk-off grand slam to begin the tournament. Down 7-3 in the 5th, Twin Hills led a strong comeback with doubles by Sniffy Winfield, Omar Quick, and Fargo Quayle to tie the game for the Hilltoppers.

Murrayfield & Grant Acquire Lincoln Brothers

Perhaps as quickly, if not at least as forcefully, as Clifton Lloyd Harris lifted a drudging Murrayfield out of the ashes in extra frames for the second week in a row, the hopes of the Murrayfield faithful fell flat as Skipper Dennis Davis Sr. announced that G.H. Henderson would not be starting in any of the Red Barons’ remaining three games. Henderson (4-1), who gave up 8 runs over 12 innings last evening seemed to be favoring his rotator cuff as the game wore on.

Ellington lead the comeback as M&G outlasts

The famed Dorchester Heights Athletic Club found themselves unraveling in the middle innings yet again as Clifton Lloyd Harris and the Murrayfield & Grant Red Barons topped the Club boys 9-8 in twelve innings.Junior Chamberlin (8 IP, 12H, 8R, 4K, 6 BB) got off to a commanding start,leaving the Red Barons scoreless through the first four, while Webb Slater knocked in two home runs in the first three innings to put the Club up 7-0.
