PITTSFIELD, MA - David Qualben pitched eight shutout innings and the Pittsfield Colonials backed him up with a five-run seventh inning en route to an 8-0 win over the New York Federals.

Already leading 3-0, Danny Bomback got things started for Pittsfield in the seventh with a solo homer to make it 4-0. Following the homerun, a walk by Angel Molina and singles by Billy Mottram and Johnny Welch loaded the bases. Peter Fatse lined a single of his own to right to score Molina to make it 5-0. Scott Knazek stepped to the plate and delivered a hit of his own to left scoring Mottram and Welch to make it 7-0. A sac fly from Rafael Cabreja rounded out the scoring.

The Colonials tallied the first runs of the game in the second inning on a sac fly by Fatse and an RBI single to make it 2-0. The lead was extended to 3-0 in the third when Mottram singled home Bomback to led off the inning with a double.

The runs were plenty enough for Qualben (2-1) who tossed eight brilliant innings, allowing six hits while striking out five. Luis Pardo (0-1) took the loss for New York.

Offensively Fatse, Kanzek and Cabreja drove in two runs each.
