Wachusett Dirt Dawgs News Release


NASHUA, NH (Wednesday, June, 12, 2013) The Wachusett Dirt Dawgs dropped a hard fought ballgame against the Nashua Silver Knights 4-3.

"The game was very tight," said Scott Lettre, Director of Baseball Operations for the Wachusett Dirt Dawgs. "If some of the balls had bounced a different way today, we would have came out on top. Hopefully we can get them tomorrow."

The Silver Knights scored one run in the first, second, and fourth innings off of Dirt Dawgs' starter Nick Filloramo (Wheaton College). Filloramo went 4.1 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and striking out three.

With the Silver Knights taking a 3-0 lead into the fifth frame, the Dirt Dawgs offense finally woke up. Billy Wright (Judson University) started off the inning by taking a pitch in the back. He then advanced to second off of a Devin Perry (Crowder College) single and to third on a fielder's choice from Tim Corey (Colby College).

Austin Sistrunk (Lipscomb University) came on to run for Wright and was able to score due to Jamill Moquete (UMass Boston) reaching first on an error. The next hitter, Derek Lowe (William & Mary) came up clutch with a two RBI single, scoring Moquete and Corey to tie the game at three.

Michael Yerina (SCSU) pitched 2.2 solid innings in relief for Wachusett, allowing only 1 hit while striking out five.

Nashua was able to score one run off of Will Stillman (Wofford College) in the bottom of the eighth, taking a 4-3 lead and holding off the Dirt Dawgs to finish the game. Stillman (0-2) took the loss on the afternoon.

Derek Lowe had a big game at plate for the Dirt Dawgs, going 3-for-5 with two RBIs.
