Chiefs at A's, ICL Slate Victimized by Wet Grounds
The Americans-Cassell Club contest that was to be played at Playstead Park at 6:00 PM was also postponed.
Isolated heavy rain showers continued to hit the Greater Boston area until early afternoon and coupled with yesterday's rain it was more than the local fields could handle.
The Chiefs are off on Friday and will next play at Lexington High School against the Blue Sox on Saturday night at 7:30 PM in the first round of the Jeri DeAngelis Memorial Tournament.
Thursday's postponement was the fifth of the year for the Chiefs and their second in two nights as Wednesday's game at Cassell was also rained out.
The Chiefs pitching rotation has again been thrown into chaos. They are expected to send either Mike DiCato, (UMass-Amherst, Winthrop, MA) who was scheduled to start against Gately, or Mike Coppinger (Merrimack, Medway, MA) to the hill against Lexington. -More soon
Manoukian, Chaisson Lead Reds Past Chiefs, 9-1
Manoukian was dominant and took a no-no into the the bottom of the sixth when Doug Heald (Tewksbury, MA, Merrimack) broke up his bid with a clean single to center.
Manoukian easily set the Chiefs down and the closest the locals came to a hit in the first five innings was in the second when first baseman John Lynch (Villanova University) made a spectacular grab of a laser off the bat of Mike Andre that was earmarked for the right field corner.
The Reds roughed up three Chiefs pitchers for nine runs, including starter Mike Chandler (3 IP, 2 R, 2H) who departed after three innings with some minor arm stiffness.
Chaisson delivered the big blow of the night, a three run shot to left in the fifth, off reliver Matt Phlean. Mark Blake, in his first appearance of the season, worked the sixth and seventh for the Chiefs alllowing a run and couple of hits.
The Chiefs averted the shutout in the seventh against Reds reliever Brad Kittle (Framingham St.) on hits from Justin Crisafulli and Chandler and a RBI single from pinch hitter Jimmy Buldini.
With the win ,Watertown goes to 3-1 on the year while the Chiefs fall to 2-3-1.
Former Malden Catholic all-scholastic and present UMass-Amherst righty Mike DiCato will make the first start of his ICL career on Wednesday night when the Chiefs travel to Trum Field in Somerville to take on the Cassell Club at 7:00 PM.
Passing of Ray Barnes and Harold Landers
Both Mr. Barnes and Mr. Landers were fixtures at Chiefs games throughout the 1980's and 1990's.
The Chiefs organization sends its condolences to both Mike and Hank and their families.
These great Chiefs fans will be missed.
Chiefs Miss Opportunities, Lose to Blue Sox, 6-2
Veteran Blue Sox southpaw Bill Cooke (2-0) was just sharp enough to go the distance, escaping major jams in both the sixth and seventh innings.
Lexington took a 1-0 lead in the first off Chiefs rookie starter and loser Connor Bishop of Arlington, MA on a RBI single by Dan Hughes.
The Chiefs went 1-2-3 in the home half of the first and Bishop allowed a lead off second inning double to Eric Poling of Greenville College but stranded him there getting the next three Sox batters in order.
The Chiefs ran themselves out of a potential scoring threat in their half of the second. After two were out, Mike Andre lined a single to left center and catcher Ryan Sheehan blooped a hit to right. With Jim Buldini at the plate, Poling picked Sheehan off first to end the inning.
Lexington made it a 3-0 game in the third, the key blow being a Sean McElroy RBI double.
It went to 4-0 in the fourth on a Brian Abraham (Holy Cross) sacrifice fly as the Sox chased Bishop from the mound in favor of Matt Phelan. The Chiefs left a couple of more runners (Mike Chandler, Phil Costello singles) stranded in the bottom of the inning.
Phelan and Cooke both worked scoreless fifth innings. Paul Bratton took over for Phelan in the sixth before the Chiefs closed the gap to 4-2 on singles from Brian Macrina and Andre (2 for 3) and a double off the bat of Chandler (2 for 4) and had the tying runs on base before Cooke got pinch hitter Matt Boleski to ground out.
The Sox added two big insurance runs in the seventh off Bratton compliments of a Abraham double, a HBP and a Jake Dillard (SW Oklahoma) RBI single.
The Chiefs welcomed Cook to the seventh with three consecutive singles from Doug Heald, Rich Montecalvo and Macrina (2 for 4) to load the bases with no outs. Cooke came up big and got Justin Crisafulli to foul out, Chandler to fly to left and Costello to sharply ground out to short to end the frustrating night for the now 2-2-1 Chiefs. Lexington stayed perfect on the season and in first place at 4-0-0.
