It took the Sons until their final at bat in the bottom of the 6th to get an improbable come from behind victory friday night against Zuppardi Dental. After trailing the entire game, and Zuppardi looking like they were going to coast to an easy victory, the Sons never say die attitude kicked into full swing and with two outs in the last inning got consecutive hits from Bobby O'Neil, Jake Sullivan, Matt Parker, Robert Dunphy, Jake Connolly, Jake Parker (his second of the Inning) and then finally the game winning walk off extra base hit was delivered by Danny Keenan (also having a 2nd hit in the inning) to complete the amazing comeback victory. It wasn't all about the offense though; outstanding fielding by Jake Sullivan in left, solid catching behind the plate by Danny Keenan and Dom DePaoli's slick fielding at first base, prevented big innings by Zuppardi. The final score was- Sons 8 Zuppardi 7.

It must be mentioned that Alex Kennedy of Zuppardi Dental pitched an outstanding 5 innings, surrendering only 1 run to the Sons before he reached the maximum pitch count and had to exit the mound for a relief pitcher. The Sons have faced some early season tough pitching, and it doesn't look like that trend will end any time soon, as they will be going up against two quality teams this weekend; the first one being Sagamore Plumbing on Saturday and Duncan MacKellar Insurance on Sunday.
