Wrap: The Bulldogs played two games over the weekend and came away with 3 out of 4 points in two very differently played contests. On Saturday the Bulldogs played the Bombers from East Boston as part of the Gerie DeAngelis Memorial Tournament played at Lexington HS. In a sloppily played game the shorthanded Bulldogs entered the 6th inning down 7-3, but scored five times to provide the winning margin. In the decisive inning it was Bill Cataldo’s sacrifice fly that tied the score and that was followed by Pete Castoldi’s rbi single. The Bulldogs played the perennial power Chiefs from Medford, on Sunday evening at Morton Field, and played a much superior game from the prior day but could only come away with a 2-2 nine inning tie. The Chiefs have been the Bulldog’s nemesis in their brief history, besting Reading seven out of eight contests. Early on it was looking like more of the same when Andre jumped out to a 2-0 lead going into the bottom of the fourth. But the resilient Bulldogs tied the score with a clutch two out two run single from catcher Matt Zajac. From there both pitchers shut down the run scoring for the day through two extra frames. The Bulldog starter Sean Boyle dominated in the late innings allowing just one hit over the last seven innings and he looked stronger with each inning. The Bulldogs on the other hand had several late threats with a chance to walk off with a victory but came up short. The last of which came in the eighth with Doug Flutie at the plate, whom earlier had made a highlight reel catch and throw from short centerfield. With the bases loaded, Flutie’s hard comebacker was turned into a pitcher to catcher to first base double play to thwart the Bulldogs best attempt to sweep the weekend. Per league rules games cannot be played beyond nine innings so the game was recorded as a tie.
