Medford- The Chiefs escaped Playstead Park last night with a 2-2 tie against the Americans. Their record now stands at 2-0-1 entering tonight's game vs. the Cassell Club at Playstead Park at 6:00 PM.
The Chiefs took a 1-0 lead in the second inning against Americans starter Ryan Maguire.
Justin Crisafulli and Mike DiCato both walked and Mike Andre delivered the Chiefs only hit of the night, a line drive to centerfiield.
The Chiefs made it 2-0 in the third, without the benefit of a hit, when Rich Montecalvo struck out but reached first on a passed ball. Montecalvo then stole second and scored when Brian Macrina's potential inning ending grounder to short was throw away.
Chiefs starter Mike Lanciani, who cruised threw the first five innings with a two-hitter, had some stiffness in his elbow and did not come out for the sixth. Mike DiCato relieved Lanciani and was touched up for two runs and three hits, the key blow being a two out, 2 RBI single to center by Maguire.
The Chiefs threatened in the top of the seventh when Andre walked and Sean O'Brien was a hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second with one out. Americans releiver Mike McCarthy ended the threat when he got Matt Boleski and Phil Costello to both fly out to left.
DiCato issued a leadoff walk in the seventh and a sacrifice bunt moved the potential game winning run into scoring position. Lefthander Connor Bishop took over for DiCato against left handed hitting pinch hitter Andrew Bourque and struck him out for the inning's second out. Medford's Paul Bratton was summoned from the bullpen to face the righthanded Mike Burgoyne and he got him to line to Chiefs second baseman Doug Heald who made an outstanding leaping catch on a ball that seemed destined for right center to end the game.
Mike Coppinger (1-0) is expected to be the Chiefs starter tonight against the Cassell Club.
