The Tide scored two early runs in the top of the first. Charles
Misiano singled and Rob Dadona walked to put two runners on base and then
advanced to second and third. Zach Leone then hit a sacrifice fly to score
Misiano and Austin Pollock singled in Dadona.
In the fourth, the Pilots had a chance to equalize. Malcolm
Kelsey and Greg Kocinski were on second and third with no outs. However, both
runners were left stranded.
The Pilots cut the lead down to one in the next inning when Rob
DeAngelis scored a run on an error.
The Tide tacked on runs in the final three frames to put the
game out of reach.
Alvin Vega pitched well in his first start of the season, going
six and a third innings with only five hits and two walks.
Rob DeAngelis had a single and a double for the Pilots while
Malcolm Kelsey had two hits.
The Pilots next home game is on Sunday July 17. The team will be
playing a doubleheader against the Quakertown Blazers at Bainton Field on the
campus of Rutgers University. The Pilots will be holding a clothing drive
during the day. First pitch is set for 1:00.
