The Plowboys got back on track and  defeated the Mountain Boys 6-0 on Sunday at the Plow as two pitchers combined to throw a shutout. Austin Brown and Johnny Nelson each pitched for the Plowboys in the game. Nelson induced a pop out to get the last out.

 Nate Cormier collected three hits in four at bats in the win. Cormier doubled in the fourth inning, doubled in the third inning, and singled in the first inning. The Plow got on the board in the bottom of the third inning after Cormier doubled down the right field line, and Ryan Ponte grounded out, each scoring one run.

The starter went four innings, giving up six runs on seven hits, striking out three and walking three. Johnny Nelson collected the save for the Plow throwing 3 strong innings to shut it down.

Burlington Hunters 19   CT Sliders 2

The Burlington Hunters get back in the win column defeating the CT Sliders 19-2.  Derek Duffy earned the win on the mound scattering 5 hits over 5 innings while striking out 8.  Every batter in the Hunter lineup recorded a hit on the day.  Tim Krol, Josue “Sway” Lopez, Andrew Bunger, Jeff Osak, and Chad Lavelle all had multi-hit games.  One of Lavelle’s hits was a grand slam that blew the game open.  For the Sliders, Ryan Montini swatted a long opposite field solo shot in the first, and Player/Coach/GM Pat Smith had a strong day smacking 2 doubles.  The Sliders look to rebound Monday and slow down the Candlewood Kraken while the Hunters look to keep things rolling Tuesday against the Torrington Thunder.

Game Highlights: Jake Rinkavage continues to be Mr. OPB adding 3 more walks and a hit to bring his number to .769 on the season; Ty Morin CAN play third base; and finally Taylor Donofrio missed the game supporting his Italian heritage a little too much at the Original Feast of St. Anthony in Bridgeport.
