North Adams-Saratoga Rained out in Third

North Adams SteepleCats News Release
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - Trailing by a 3-0 margin in the top of the third inning, North Adams' scheduled Sunday afternoon NECBL Western Division showdown against Saratoga has been suspended due to rain and will be completed at a date to be announced.
The Brigade struck for three early runs - two earned - on a two-RBI double off the bat of Matt Beaty before an error scored the third against starter Mike Murphy (Rider) in the top of the first inning, while Adrian Benitez retired six straight SteepleCats through the first and second inning, combined, to send the contest into the third,
After a leadoff error and a sacrifice bunt, Saratoga appeared ready to tack on another run in the top of the third, but with the infield drawn in, junior Cody Doyle (Cal State LA) snagged a ground ball near the right side, spun and fired to the plate to erase the lead runner.
Then after a stolen base pushed the runner into scoring position, lightning struck and the skies opened up, prompting the suspension of the game. The contest will be resumed from the third inning onward at a later date this season.
Following an off day on Monday, the SteepleCats open up July with a home tilt against Danbury this Tuesday (July 2). First pitch against the Westerners from Joe Wolfe Field is slated for 6:30 p.m.
