Malden, MA- Southpaw Tim Dunphy spun a neat four-hitter to lead the Chiefs to a tough come from behind 2-1 win over the Arlington Trojans on Monday night at Maplewood Park.
Dunphy and Trojans’ righty Mike Andrews (Stoneham, MA/Framingham State) hooked up in a pretty decent pitcher’s duel as they both fired zeros over the first three frames.
Arlington finally broke through to take a 1-0 lead in the top the fourth. Kyle Bourdrias got things underway for the visitors when he drilled a Dunphy offering off the fence in right-center. Former Harvard shortstop Morgan Brown followed and moved Bourdrias to third with a grounder to the right side. With the Chiefs’ infield drawn in, Jeff Besozzi gave the Trojans the lead with a sharp single to center.
The Chiefs answered and picked up an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth to tie game at 1-1. Matt Nuzzo drew a one out walk and Peter Copa singled him to second. Catcher Shane Stande followed with an infield hopper that forced Copa at second. When the relay attempt to get Copa at first was thrown high, Nuzzo came across the plate with the tying run.
The Chiefs took the lead in the bottom of the fifth. Mike Andre led things off with a line single to right-center. Jamel Vilmont came on to pinch-run and moved up to second on an Andrews wild pitch. Mike DiCato was next and his groundout to the left side moved Vilmont to third. With the Trojans’ infield playing in looking to cut down the go ahead run at the plate, Nate Witkowski lined a 2-2 Andrews pitch into center for the game-winner.
Dunphy set Arlington down in the top of the sixth and then got the side in order in the seventh to preserve the win. The veteran struck out six and walked just one.
Andrews (0-3) was nearly as good and only allowed four hits himself while striking out two.
Chiefs Chatter….Dunphy raised his record to 2-0 on the year and now has an ERA of 0.98 in 14.1 innings. He needed just an economical 88 pitches to complete his seven inning effort. The former Brandeis star saw his career record with the Chiefs improve to 41-16, dating back to the 2010 season….The Chiefs travel to Trum Field in Somerville on Tuesday at 8:15 PM to face the Somerville Royals before returning home to meet the Reading Bulldogs on Wednesday….
