Wakefield, MA- Greg Johnson tossed a three-hitter, striking out nine, when the Merchants shutout the Chiefs 7-0 at Walsh Field in Wakefield on Sunday afternoon.

The Merchants took a 2-0 lead off Chiefs’ starter Tim Dunphy in the bottom of the second on a double from Tyler Lyne and singles from Mike Sorrentino, Jake Nardone and Kevin Lucey.

Singles from Bobby Losanno and Sorrentino, and an infield error, made it 3-0 in the third. Wakefield picked up a couple of more runs in the fifth keyed by doubles by Lyne and Losanno and added two more in the sixth on two walks, an error, and a sacrifice fly from Steve Rizzuto.

Johnson improved to 1-2 with the win. Dunphy (3-1) went five innings and took his first loss of the season. Jack Fargo began the sixth and worked 2/3’s of an inning before giving way to Tony Serino who got the last out.

Gino DeSimone, Nick Leva and Serino had the only Chiefs hits.
