The Middlesex Panthers played their best game of the year last night, staging a nine-run rally with two outs in the third inning to down the Red Balls, 9-5, in WAKA Massachusetts Commonwealth Division action.
Jason MacInnes, Fran Blanchard and Abbey "Red Red" Weintraub started the rally with three bunt singles. Paul Liberman then drilled a three-run triple to the outfield, followed by four more consecutive base hits and a two-run homer by Nick Toth.
Pitching and defense preserved the lead, with first baseman Eric Pierce ending the Red Balls' three-run fourth inning with an unassisted double play and pitcher David Bergeron inducing a game-ending foul out in the fifth. Yuval "Take This Job And" Shavit also made several nice catches at third base (and, according to witnesses at the post-game party, that was not his only encounter with third base).
The win gave the Panthers a 3-2 record, good enough for second place in the division with three games left to go in the regular season.
"If we keep playing like this, we're definitely going to make the playoffs," co-captain Colin Steele said after the game.
When informed that every team in the league makes the playoffs, Steele replied, "Oh. Go f@#$ yourself."
