Medford, MA- The Chiefs and the Mooney Dental Tanners hooked up in a wild seventh inning switch of emotions with the Chiefs eventually coming out on top 6-5 at Tufts University on Friday night.
Ace righty Keith Forbes took a no-hitter and a 3-0 lead into the last inning but the Tanners rallied for five big runs on a couple of walks, a costly infield error, an infield single, a passed ball and a bases loaded triple by Jon Smart.
Red hot Brenden Shepard ( 2 for 4, double, 4 RBI’s) bailed out the Chiefs out when he delivered a two out, two strike, two RBI single in the bottom of the seventh to give them the walk off win.
Closer Chris Foundas picked up the win in relief of Forbes. Forbes (2-0) worked six innings plus and allowed just the two seventh inning hits while striking out seven and walking four.
The Chiefs took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when Mike Andre delivered Andrew Hanson, who had walked and stole second, with a two out single to rightcenter. It stayed a 1-0 game until the sixth when Shepard unloaded a long two RBI double to left. In the inning, Justin Crisafulli doubled with one away to the 354 foot sign in left and Mike Barbati pinch ran. Paul Koslowski walked and Andre popped up before Shepard brought both Barbati and Koslowski around.
The win was the third straight for the Chiefs and raised their record to 7-3-1 moving them into a second place tie in the ICL standings heading into Sunday’s game at Walsh Field in Wakefield at 5:30 PM.
