SteepleCats Rally Late for Road Win
iBerkshires.com Sports
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt. -- Owen Arias hit a two-out, two run single in the top of the seventh to erase a 5-4 deficit and send the North Adams SteepleCats on to a 6-5 win over Upper Valley in New England Collegiate Baseball League action on Friday.
Alex Barrist and Evan Meier singled to start the winning rally. And Sebastian Rhoades hit a sacrifice fly to center before Nelphie Lopez worked a walk to load the bases with two out.
Richie Kerstetter earned the win on the mound with six strikeouts in four innings of shutout relief of starter Kellen Moore.
Barrist led North Adams' offense, going 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles. Meier was 3-for-4 at the plate, and Nicholas LoBello doubled and scored a run.
The SteepleCats (4-12), winners of three straight games, are in Lynn on Saturday afternoon to play the North Shore Navigators.
It's too late to get tickets — the event's sold out! — but you can hear some of the performances in the downtown area. Or, you can listen for free on NEPM (New England Public Media) 88.5.
