Dartmouth Moosehead Dry

The Dartmouth Moosehead Dry committed six errors, including two in the eighth accounting for four unearned runs, to contribute to their 12-8 loss to the Truro Maple Leaf Foods Bearcats. Truro leads the series 1-0. Winston Brown hit a single driving in two in the first to draw first blood. Dartmouth brought the score back to even at 3 in the third when Darren Hiltz drove in a run with a single. Truro used a suicide squeeze in the fourth to regain the lead, but that was relenquished When Jamie Vallis and Greg West went back to back with homeruns to give the Dry a 6-4 edge. After Brown and MacPherson each doubled, pinch-hitter Shawn Fuller tied the game with a single. After a throwing error, Jeff Chishom drove in the seventh Bearcat run with a signle. A pass ball plated Truro's eighth run and Matt Mayo brought home a pair to give Truro the 10-6 lead. West and Hiltz each doubled in runs in the bottom of the eighth, but Jeff Chishom struck out Nick Best to stifle the rally. Chad Sawler (1-1) took the loss while Mark Stiner (2-0) picked up the win in relief of starter Kelly Spencer.
