Pittsfield Colonials News Release


Chad Paronto pitched the first complete game shutout of his 16-year professional career in game one of a doubleheader as the Pittsfield Colonials defeated the New Jersey Jackals 9-0.

The Colonials would get Paronto all the runs that he would need in the first inning as they posted five runs, keyed by a two-run triple from Danny Bomback and a two-run homer by Billy Mottram, his third of the year.

Pittsfield would extend the lead with two runs each in the fourth and fifth innings. The offense was more than enough for Paronto (1-3) as he tossed his first complete game since July 9, 2000 allowing six hits, walking none and striking out six. Phil Bartleski (1-1) took the loss.

In the second game, Nick Giarraputo had two hits for the Jackals, leading them to a 4-0 win. Isaac Pavlik (4-0) tossed a complete game shutout. David Qualben (1-1) also went the distance for the Colonials, taking the loss.

The series finale will be on Thursday with Miguel Flores (0-2, 2.91) on the mound for Pittsfield against James Leverton (1-2, 4.50) for the Jackals. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m. Coverage on pittsfieldcolonials.com begins at 6:45 p.m. with the Colonials Pregame Show. Pittsfield will return home for a doubleheader against the New York Federals on Friday, June 17 at 6 p.m. For tickets, call 413-236-2961 or log on to www.pittsfieldcolonials.com.
