LEOMINSTER, Mass. (Tuesday, August 6, 2013). John Kinne's (Columbia) two-run single proved to be the difference as the Pittsfield Suns scored five unanswered runs to defeat the Wachusett Dirt Dawgs 5-4.

"Their starting pitcher had us off balance all night," said Scott Lettre, Director of Baseball Operations for Wachusett. "We almost stole this one late, but we'll get them tomorrow.

The Suns (24-25) were fired to victory by pitcher Chris Carmin (Northeastern) who baffled Wachusett's hitters for eight innings. He allowed three runs, on seven hits, while striking out ten.

Kinne and Gary Tesch (Pennsylvania) led the Suns with three hits each.

The Dirt Dawgs (18-30) rallied in the ninth to cut the lead to one, but were unable to capitalize and left the bases loaded to end the game.

Billy Wright (Judson) led Wachusett on offense with two hits and two RBIs.

Keelan Smithers (Princeton) was solid for the Dirt Dawgs in his first start of the season, allowing one earned run, on eight hits, while striking out five. He took a no decision for his 4.2 innings pitched.
