Malden, MA- Jared Freni tossed a three-hitter, and Johnny Welch supplied most of the offense with a two-run homer, when the Chiefs beat the Watertown Reds 3-1 on Wednesday night at Maplewood.
After Freni escaped a two on, (Kyle LaVigne walk, Will Brennan single) one out, jam in the top of the first, Welch gave the Chiefs all the runs they would need on the night when he homered down the left field line, scoring Tony Serino (walk) in front of him.
Reds’ hard luck starter and loser Dante Padovani (1-1) and Freni, who was aided by doubleplays in the third, fourth, and fifth innings, kept it a 2-0 game until the Chiefs made it 3-0 in the bottom of the fifth. Mike Burgoyne drew a walk, was bunted to second by catcher Nick Leva, and scored on an RBI single by Serino.
The Reds finally broke through against Freni in the top of the sixth when LaVigne drew his third straight walk, stole second, and scored all the way from second base on Mike Samko’s deep sacrifice fly to right-center to account for the 3-1 final.
Freni, (2-1) struck out seven and issued the three walks to LaVigne. Padovani struck out three, and walked two, both of which scored.
Chiefs Chatter…Brennan had two of the Reds hits while Chris Lanzilli had the third.....The Chiefs are off until Saturday when they play the Reading Bulldogs at Lexington High School at 11:00 AM. It is the opening game of a four game ICL set that is played each year in memory of Jerie DeAngelis. Melrose and Arlington play the second game at 1:15 PM, Watertown and Somerville meet at 3:30 PM, and Lexington and Wakefield play the nightcap at 5:45 PM….
