Ugly in Arlington! Chiefs Lose 8-5
Arlington, MA- The Arlington Trojans took advantage of five Chiefs errors and scored eight uneraned runs to take an 8-5 win at Summer Street Field on Friday night.
Rob Machado suffered the loss, working five innings and giving up eight hits. Tim Dunphy (0.1 innings) and Tufts rookie Jake Crawford (0.2 innings) worked the sixth.
The Chiefs battled back from a five run first inning hole to tie the game at 5-5 only to see it slip away in the sixth.
The Chiefs began to peck away at the Trojan lead in the top of the second. Mike Andre led things off with a single and went to third when Bernie Driscoll's grounder was thrown high to first. Mike DiCato followed with a two RBI single to left that scored Andre and Driscoll.
Matt Boleski drilled a solo homer to right in the top of the third that cut the Arlington lead to 5-3.
The Chiefs came all the way back and tied the game at 5-5 when veteran Justin Crisafulli drove in Anthony Weiner and Boleski, who had both singled, with a double to left-center.
Two more Chiefs miscues, a passed ball, a single up the middle by Morgan Brown and an infield bunt single by Jim Roche accounted for the three Trojan runs in the home half of the sixth inning.
The Tanners at Chiefs game scheduled for Saturday was rained out.
Weather permitting, the Chiefs will play a doubleheader at Morton Field in Reading on Sunday starting at 1:30 PM. Watch this website for any weather updates.
