The Jersey Pilots won game one of a doubleheader against the
Staten Island Tide 8-2 on Wednesday at Snyder Ave Park before falling 4-1 in
the second game.
Tom Marcinczyk led the Pilot offense in game one. He went 3-4
with two towering home runs over the right field fence. His first home run was
in the bottom of the first to put the Pilots ahead and his second home run was
a three-run shot in the fifth inning.
Brian Rodriguez also had a day at the plate, going 2-3 with a
two-run home run in the fifth inning as well.
On the mound, Tyler Poulin had a quality outing, going seven
strong innings while allowing only four hits and striking out five. He also had
four innings where he retired the batters in order.
Many Pilots had good games including Colby Smith, who had two
walks and a hit-by-pitch; Harrison Walls, who went 2-3 with a double; Malcolm
Kelsey, who had a RBI double and Justin Trochiano, who scored two runs.
In game two, the Tide got on the board quickly, scoring three
runs in the top of the first and never looking back.
The Pilots managed to get one run back in the fifth when John
Scarr singled home Alex Wright, but that was all Jersey was able to muster.
Dominick Pisciotto went five innings for the Pilots giving up
only two earned runs with three strikeouts. Max Herrman came out of the pen for
the Pilots and pitched two innings of shutout baseball. At the plate, Scarr led
the team with three hits.
Zach Leone led the Tide with three hits, including two doubles,
and Christopher Hess picked up the win for the Tide.
The Pilots next home game is on Tuesday July 5 against the
Trenton Generals at Weehawken Stadium in Weehawken.
