Giarraputo Gives 'Hawks Edge in Extras
July 31, 2010 - Canadian American League (Can-Am)
Sussex Skyhawks News Release
The Sussex Skyhawks beat the Brockton Rox last night in 10 innings, 7-5. Brockton rallied late to send the game into extra innings, but Sussex pushed across two in the top of the tenth in a thriller. RHP Tim Stringer gave the Skyhawks six impressive innings, surrendering just a single unearned run, but the bullpen cost him a decision. With the Rox down two with one out in the ninth, RF Keith Brachold punched a two-run single to tie the game at five all. However, 3B Nick Giarraputo responded with a two-run single of his own with the bases loaded and two outs in the tenth to push the Skyhawks to victory.
