WORCESTER - The Worcester Bravehearts couldn't seem to get out of their own way in a 7-4 loss to the Wachusett Dirt Dawgs on Thursday night, July 16 at Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field.

The Bravehearts committed seven errors total, and after taking a 4-3 lead into the 8th inning gave up four unearned runs on five errors. Worcester reliever Nick Freijomil (LIU Brooklyn / Franklinville, New Jersey) took the loss, as he was responsible for the game-tying and go-ahead runs, which were both unearned.

Wachusett took a 3-0 lead in the top of the 5th with a 2-RBI triple by center fielder Max DiTondo (Franklin Pierce / Marshfield, Connecticut) and a sacrifice fly by left fielder Kurtis White (Franklin Pierce / Nahant).

However, Worcester countered with three runs of its own in the 6th thanks to a throwing error by Dirt Dawgs first baseman Justin Silvestro (Wheaton / Waltham) to score third baseman Mike Coggeshall (Assumption / Shrewsbury). Right fielder Charlie Ameer (Cochise / Weston, Connecticut) followed up with a 2-RBI double to tie the game.

With two on and two out in the 7th inning, catcher TJ Riccio (New Haven / Port Jefferson Station, New York) hit an RBI single to give Worcester its only lead of the game.

Dirt Dawgs pitcher Matt Cronin (UMass Dartmouth / Framingham) got his fifth save of the season by collecting the final six outs of the game. Pitcher James Batton (University of Texas at Tyler / Arlington, Texas) was credited with the win to improve to 2-0 this season.

The Worcester Bravehearts will host the Bristol Blues at 7:05 p.m. Friday night, July 17 at Hanover Insurance Park for Healthy Living Night and Fireworks presented by Reliant Medical Group. Tickets for all future Bravehearts games are available at the Hanover Insurance Field box office, online at worcesterbravehearts.com, or by calling 508-438-3773.
