Pittsfield Colonials News Release


PITTSFIELD, MA - The Pittsfield Colonials got strong starting pitching performances from T. J. Wink and Tim Stronach as the Colonials swept the New York Federals in a doubleheader for a second straight night, winning 6-0 and 4-1.

In game one, Pittsfield saw Wink (4-0) come out and carve up the Federals lineup in a four-hit shutout. He walked one and struck out two in tossing his first professional complete game and shutout.

Pittsfield would get Wink all the runs he would need in the third when they plated three runs on a bases loaded bit batsman to Danny Bomback, a bases loaded walk by Angel Molina and a sac fly by Peter Fatse. The Colonials would add two in the fifth and one in the sixth to create the final margin.

In game two, the Colonials got a first inning run on a sacrifice fly by Angel Molina to go up 1-0. After a Tom Maloney hit scored Eddie Lantigua in the second inning for New York to tie the game, Stronach (2-2) bore down and retired the next 12 in a row, eventually giving up one run and striking out seven in six innings of work. MacKenzie King pitched a perfect ninth, striking out two for his first save.

The Colonials got the runs they would need in the third. Quentin Davis led off with a single. Jerod Edmondson doubled home Davis for a 2-1 lead. After a Bomback sacrifice moved Edmondson to third and Billy Mottram walked, Molina grounded out to first, scoring Edmondson for a 3-1 advantage. Mottram moved to second on the play and would score two batters later on a single by Chris Torres.

The Colonials now face off against Brockton in a key weekend series. On Friday at 7 p.m., Miguel Flores (2-8, 4.54) gets the start for Pittsfield against Julian Sampson (7-3, 3.96) for the Rox. For tickets or information visit pittsfieldcolonials.com or call (413)-236-2961.
