PITTSFIELD, MA - Danny Bomback took a Mark Rosen pitch over the centerfield wall to lead off the bottom of the 11th inning as the Pittsfield Colonials provided their fans with some early Independence Day fireworks, delivering a 3-2 walkoff win over the Brockton Rox.

Pittsfield cracked the scoreboard first in the bottom of the second innings when a Quentin Davis double brought home Peter Fatse for a 1-0 lead. The Colonials extended the lead in the fifth when Jerod Edmondson smacked his third homer of the year to right, making it 2-0.

Meanwhile, Chad Paronto was brilliant for the Colonials. The veteran right-hander went eight shutout innings, matching his longest outing since 1999, allowing four hits, striking out four.

The game was sent into extra innings by a Trey Hernandez homer in the ninth, which tied the game at 2-2.

Mike Zenko (4-0) picked up the win going the final two innings. Rosen (1-1) took the loss for Brockton.

The series wraps up on Monday where the Pittsfield will celebrate July 4 at Wahconah Park. The Colonials will participate in the Pittsfield Fourth of July Parade in the morning and will take on the Rox at 6:30 with fireworks to follow the game among the rest of the festivities. Pat Moran (3-2, 6.25) takes the hill for Pittsfield against Freddy Flores (3-1, 3.65) for Brockton. For tickets, visit pittsfieldcolonials.com or call (413)-236-2961.
