Malden, MA- The Lexington Blue Sox got a first inning two run homer from Richie Burgos, then took advantage of a dozen walks and a hit batsman issued by Chiefs’ pitching, to take a 9-7 win at Maplewood on Monday night.
In marathon game that was delayed by rain until 8:25 PM, then halted in the third inning for 15 minutes as more heavy showers passed through, the Sox survived four Chiefs homers and being outhit 12-6 to take the win.
Burgos gave Lexington a quick 2-0 lead off Chiefs’ starter Evan Walsh (Arlington, MA/Bentley) with a two out shot to left.
The Chiefs tied things up in the bottom of the second on a Ben Waldrip solo homer, a Peter Copa double, and an infield error off starter Drew Leenhouts.
The Blue Sox took the lead for good in the top of the third when they moved in front 4-2. Walsh gave up singles to Aaron Barbosa, Burgos, Justin Silvestro and Andrew Selima and a walk to Gray Goolsby.
Johnny Welch closed the gap to 4-3 with a two out solo shot in the bottom of the third.
Joe Saia took over for Walsh in the top of the fourth. The lefty was uncharacteristicaly wild, issuing five walks (one intentional) as Lexington scored three times in the inning on just one hit, which was allowed by reliever Kyle Musco, to take a 7-3 lead.
The Lexington lead went to 9-3 in the top of the fifth without the benefit of a hit as Musco continued the Chiefs' staff wildness. The righty walked four and hit a batter to force in two runs before rookie David Kerns (Cambridge, MA/Bridgewater St) came out of the bullpen to restore order.
Waldrip hit his second solo homer of the game in the bottom of the fifth to chop a run off the Blue Sox lead at 9-4.
Kerns worked a scoreless sixth and Waldrip came on and set the Sox down in order in the top of the seventh.
The Chiefs made things a bit interesting in the home half of the seventh against lefty Kevin Scanlon. They scored three times on a Tony Serino walk, a Matt Nuzzo double, and a two-run homer from Juan Portes.
Chiefs Chatter…..The Chiefs record fell to 4-4 with the loss while the Blue Sox won their fourth straight to move to 5-2 on the young season….Lefty Josh Desai is expected to get the start when the Chiefs and Malden Maddogs hook up at Maplewood tonight (Tuesday) at 7:45 PM….On Wednesday the Chiefs host the Watertown Reds at Maplewood at 8:00 PM…-Bruce Tillman & Bruce Hack (game coverage)
