June 4, 2011 - Canadian American League (Can-Am) News Release
Newark 5, New York 2
Newark scored single runs in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings to pull away from New York and earn a 5-2 victory. RF Danny Santiesteban drove in two runs for the Bears and starting pitcher Eric Eden delivered six solid innings to pick up the win. Reliever TJ Hose struck out four men in two innings of work. The Bears were out hit 11-6 in the contest but took advantage of three New York errors.
Pittsfield 9, Quebec 4
Pittsfield used three homeruns to cruise past Quebec 9-4. Colonials 3B Johnny Welch went 3-for-4 and hit two longballs to bring his total on the young season to five. 1B Jerod Edmondson hit the other Pittsfield dinger as the heart of the Colonials order finished 6-for-12 in the contest. Pittsfield starter Patrick Moran struck out eight and allowed four runs on four hits in seven innings. He evened his record at 1-1 with the win.
New Jersey 8, Rockland 7
Down 7-0 after four innings New Jersey stormed back with eight unanswered runs to defeat Rockland 8-7. The key inning for the Jackals was the bottom of the eighth, when they scored five times after the first two batters were retired. They did so without the benefit of an extra base hit, using four walks, three singles, and a hit batsman to generate the five runs. 3B Nick Giarraputo paced the New Jersey offense as he finished 2-for-3 with three runs scored.
Brockton 5, Worcester 1
Leading 2-1, Brockton scored three times in the seventh inning to top Worcester 5-1. Four Brockton pitchers combined to allow just six hits, including starter Julian Sampson who tossed five scoreless innings to even his record at 1-1. The middle of the Rox batting order provided the bulk of the offense as C Chris Grossman, RF Keith Brachold, and LF Ryan Royster combined for six hits and four RBI. Tornadoes starter Nick Serino allowed two earned runs in 4.2 innings on five hits and four base on balls. He dropped to 1-1 with the loss.
