SONS AVENGE EARLY SEASON LOSS TO DUNCAN WITH A BIG 11-5 VICTORY



Dom on his way to third

The Sons overcame the mist, the cold, and the darkness, as well as Duncan MacKellar en-route to a solid 11-5 victory over their divisional foe.  Duncan took an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second, and that was the only lead they ended up having on the night, as The Sons answered the call in the top of the third with three runs of their own, as the entire line-up came to the plate in the inning and produced 4 runs, with the big hit of the inning being a three run triple by Dom DePaoli.  Duncan got another run in the bottom half of the inning, making the score 4-2.  But once again, the Sons responded with three more runs, this time on a mammoth 3 run home run, by Dom DePaoli (his third of the season).  Pitcher Bobby O'Neil had been cruising along into the fifth inning, keeping a potent Duncan line-up off balanced and frustrated throughout the night with his pitching effort.  After striking out two of their batters in the fifth, Duncan loaded the bases and Jake Parker came in relief of O'Neil, and finally got the third out, but not until Duncan had scored three more runs, making the game a close 7-5 game.  In the top of the sixth inning and now into the darkness,  the "table setters" of Tommy Hastry and Jake Parker reached base again,  setting the stage for another big hit off the bat of.......you guessed it, Dom DePaoli, who eventually scored on some slick base running.  This put the Sons up by five runs, and the game was moved over to Wanzer Field under the lights for the completion of the last half inning, in which Jake Parker, after allowing the first two batters to reach, settled down and mowed down the last three batters by way of the "K".  This victory has The Sons sitting on top of the division lead along with Duncan, with a records of 6-3.  Next on tap for the Sons is another divisional opponent Zuppardi Dental on thursday night.
