Medford-Mike DiCato threw a complete game three hitter and fellow rookie Mike Andre drilled a three run homer to lead the Chiefs past the Medford Americans 6-1 on Monday night at Playstead Park.
The Chiefs started quickly against Americans starter Alex Sosnowski of Sam Houston State. Sosnowski got leadoff man Rick Sotiropoulos to fly out but trouble began when Phil Costello reached on an infield error. Justin Crisafulli then singled to left and Andre gave the Chiefs a quick 3-0 lead when he hit a towering home run over the right field fence. Singles from Jeff DeCarlo, Sean O'Brien and Jimmy Buldini increased the Chiefs lead to 4-0 and drove Sosnowski from the mound after just 2/3rds of an inning.
The Americans closed the gap to 4-1 with an unearned run in the bottom of the first. Mike Burgoyne reached on an error by shortstop Rich Montecalvo went to second on a Charlie Pagliarulo single, to third on an infield groundout and eventually scored on a Steve Tamoush grounder to DeCarlo at first.
The Chiefs increased their lead to 6-1 in the third on RBI singles from Buldini and Doug Heald.
DiCato was in control all evening long and needed just 72 pitches to pick up his first ICL win. The former Malden Catholic and present UMass star struck out three and walked just one.
Chiefs Notes...The Chiefs are off until Wednesday when they host Gately at Playstead at 6:00 PM. Mike Lanciani is expected to come off the DL and get the start....DiCato lowered his ERA to 2.80 with the win.....Andre remains among the ICL leaders in hitting with a .390 average.....
