Pittsfield, MA - The Worcester Bravehearts took a tough loss Thursday night against the Pittsfield Suns by the score 2-1, as Pittsfield walked off at Wahconah Field.
After both teams were unable to score through the first six innings, the Bravehearts finally broke through in the top of the seventh. Aidan Wilde led off with a single. A fielder's choice retired Martin but allowed Joseph Pesce to reach. Nicholas Martin walked, and both runners advanced on a wild pitch. Pesce would come home on a Mariano Ricciardi sacrifice fly to make it 1-0.
The game was far from over, however. Pittsfield tied it up in the ninth. Nate Cormier singled, then advanced to third on two wild pitches by Bravehearts closer Bryce Hellgeth. After Troy Strack walked, Cormier scored when Mark Coley singled him home. Another wild pitch would score Strack and give Pittsfield the win.
