Lexington- The Chiefs could not take advantage of an outstanding pitching effort from righty Mike Coppinger and fell to the Blue Sox and veteran southpaw and former UMass-Amherst star Bill Cooke 2-0 under the lights last night at Lexington.
The Chiefs outhit the Sox 7-5 but were unable to break into the scoring column against Cooke, who has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the ICL over the last five years. Cooke went to a perfect 4-0 with the complete game win and lowered his ERA to 0.57.
Coppinger nearly matched Cooke pitch for pitch but the only two walks that he issued on the night came back to haunt him as they both scored.
Lexington took a 1-0 lead in the first when Jake Dillard (Southwest Oklahoma) walked, stole second and scored on a Sean McElroy single to center. The Sox increased their lead to 2-0 in the third when Danny Powers (Holy Cross) walked and scored when McElroy and Dan Hughes (Brown University) both singled.
Mike DiCato, .241 (UMass), Justin Crisafulli, .250 (Central Missouri State/Cleveland Indians) and Mike Andre, .395(Merrimack) had two hits apiece for the Chiefs. Jeff DeCarlo, .227(University of Michigan) added the seventh Chiefs hit, a second inning single.
Following a day off on Saturday, the Chiefs remain in Lexington for the weekend and will again play the Blue Sox on Sunday at 5:00 PM.
The Chiefs were undecided on their starting pitcher for Sunday's contest.

Medford-Division II Northeast Region first team selection Rick Sotiropoulos of Merrimack College is expected to be in the Chiefs lineup tonight when they travel to Woburn.
Sotiropoulos spent much of 2006 pre-season with the Chiefs before signing with Edenton, NC, of the Coastal Plain League. He was third in the Northeast 10 batting race this past spring hitting .381.
The catcher-outfielder will hopefully bring some spark to a young Chiefs lineup that has struggled throughout the season.
It has also been reported that veteran outfielder Brian Macrina will be back in the Chiefs lineup tonight after missing the better part of three weeks with a wrist injury. He is one of the Chiefs all-time hitting leaders.

The Chiefs play the Cassell Club tonight at Trum Field at 6:00 PM.... With the number of postponements the Chiefs will have a well rested pitching staff for the game. Mike DiCato, Jeff DeCarlo, Matt Phelan, Mark Blake, Connor Bishop, Paul Bratton and Dean Corsi should all be available.....Following Friday's game the Chiefs are off for the the traditional ICL Fourth of July break and will not return to action until Wednesday, July 5th, when they travel to Lexington for an 8:00 PM date with the second place Blue Sox.... SS Rich Montecalvo (hand) will be out of action for at least another week....Veteran CF Brian Macrina (wrist) and rookie second baseman Doug Heald (back) are listed as day to day....The Chiefs got some good news in the injury department when righty Paul Bratton was able to be in uniform after missing the last ten days and Mike Lanciani has begun throwing again...Former Chief Nick Tucci made his professional debut with the Eugene Emeralds on June 19, pitching a scoreless inning against Boise. The former UConn star was a 24th round pick of the San Diego Padres in the MLB draft held earlier this month.....The ICL all star game vs. the Boston Park League is in its final planning stages and should take place in mid to late July. All the recent rain has caused the schedule of both leagues to be thrown into chaos. A suitable date for the BPL and the ICL is being arranged....Former Chiefs star and Hall of Famer Dave Clivio was a visitor to the dugout last week along with his son and future Chief Nicholas. Clivio won four ICL Championships as a member of the Chiefs and homered in his last career at bat against Lowell in game seven of the 1997 championship series. His Number 5 was retired in 2002.....
