Amenia Monarchs 9    Canton Crushers 8

Monarchs come back to win on a walk-off single by Calab McCaul. Amenia’s pitching struggled early in the game, as Canton put up 3 runs in the first inning, followed by 2 more in both the 3rd and 4th innings. They also added another run in the 5th. Canton contributed 3 doubles by the team and a home run by Stev Dubois. Amenia responded by plating 2 runs in the 5th after a leadoff single by Collin Russell, followed by a triple from Lincoln Taylor. Matt Damon then singled to bring Taylor home. Later in the inning, Amenia tied the game at 8-8 after an RBI groundout by Damon. Following that, two Monarchs were hit by pitches, and four consecutive singles evened the score. In the bottom of the 7th, Zach Spencer recorded his first at-bat of the year and singled. A groundout moved his pinch runner to second, and an error advanced him to third. Calab McCaul then took an 0-2 pitch and lined a walk-off single to secure the win for the Monarchs 9-8. Colby Dunlop got the win going 2 innings with 3 strikeouts

Wolcott Scrappers 17   Winsted Whalers 6
The Wolcott Scrappers rallied from an early 5-0 hole to defeat Winsted 17-6 behind some great relief pitching by David Cardinale, Nate Ehmer and Zac Lawlor. The trio allowed only 1 run and allowed the bats to get hot and they did. The Scrap scored 8 in the 2nd and 7 in the 4th to put the game away, aided by some good eyes at the plate that led to walks and some targets on their bodies(5 HBP). Leading the way at the plate were:
Devin Fuegen 3-3, double, walk, 3 runs scored and 3rbi.
Hot hitting Alex James 2 hits, double, 2 runs scored and 4rbi.
Dillon Fernandez 2 hits, 2b,  run scored  and 2rbi.
Josh Dunne 2 hits, 2 runs scored and an rbi.
Ryan Ciampi finally broke out of a 10 year slump with 2 hits, a run scored and 2 rbi.
For Winsted:
Andrew Ferrucci 2 hits, 2b, run scored and an rbi
Mark Cummings 2 hits, 2b run scored
Chet Warner       2 run single
Burlington Hunters 20   Valley Ducks 5

The Burlington Hunters improve to 5-0 defeating the Valley Ducks 20-5.  Ty Morin toed the slab for the first time in the 2026 season for the Hunters. After a rocky first inning giving up 3 runs, thanks in part to a long 2rbi double swatted by Nick Forino, Morin would settle in to earn the win surrendering 4 runs on the day while striking out 3. Multiple Hunters had strong days to help fuel the win.  Steve Caruso and Ty Morin both drove in 4 runs each on multi-hit efforts, Jeff Osak had a 3 hit day including a double, and Zack Martin had a multi hit day and his first stolen base since 2010.  For the Ducks, Nick Forino and Angel Torres had multi-hit games, both swatting RBI doubles. The Hunters look to continue their strong start to the season in a rematch against the Wolcott Scrappers this Sunday, while the Ducks look to rebound against the red-hot Amenia Monarchs.  

Game Highlights: Jake Rinkavage (best pitcher in the Tri-State Fall League) went 0/0 with 5 walks, has to be some kind of record; Tommaso Tollis kind of put on show, this time defensively; Taylor Donofrio LOVES softball; Jacob Paschetto LOVES his internship; and Dj Chris Rossi shinned in his first gig of the year.  

Bethlehem Plowboys 10   Naugatuck White Sox 1

The Plowboys took home the W vs the Naugatuck White Sox Thursday night 10-1. Jon Wilson stayed hot going 2-3 with 3 RBI while Freddie Camp added 2 hits, 2 RBI, and 2 stolen bases. Ty Harkness made his season debut getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to start a 2 out rally that lead to a 6 run 2nd inning. Sawyer Gravel got the opener start for Bethlehem striking out 2 and he was followed up by TJ Angiolini who went 4 innings with 5ks. Nate Cormier and Brett Davino each showed off there two way capabilities, throwing an inning each striking out a combined 4 batters. Vic Rivera threw 2 clean innings of relief following some tough luck out of there starter who allowed 9 runs but only 1 earned after a long second inning.

Game notes:

Jon Wilson was benched in the 5th inning of a 10-0 game for not tagging up on a fly ball with 0 outs. Coach Revere says everyone can be held accountable, even the old vet.

Jake Torrence caught his yearly game behind the plate after some begging at 3p from the team, and he proceeded to go 2-3, watch out Jesse.
