Townies bedevil Saints with another improbable comeback
East Providence rallied from a 5-0 deficit and scored eight times in the fifth and held on for their fifth win in a row and their sixth out of their last seven.  The Townies overcame shaky defense and only an infield single through four innings and then mounted their second amazing comeback in the last five days.  Brad Hertzler had two hits and drove in a run and David Valley had a huge pinch hit single to drive in the tying and eventual winning runs in the fifth.  Sean Arlan, Justin "Gomez" Adams, and Miles Bonalewicz combined to hold the Saints to no runs and two hits over the final three innings.  Arlan picked up his first save of the season and Adams picked up the first varsity win of his career. Eric Wedekind began the eight run fifth with a lead off single and then made a spectacular catch in the top of the sixth robbing the Saints of a chance at a big inning.

Townies jolted by Bolt in the bottom of the seventh
East Providence held a 3-2 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh with Townie ace Brad Hertzler in full command on the mound.  Then, the unthinkable,  two jam job ground balls that went for an infield hit and an error respectively, a jam job squibbler to the mound to advance the runners, and with two outs, a bloop hit over first base.  Result: a devastating loss and a wasted performance by Hertzler.  David Valley hit a solo home run and Sean Arlan had an RBI triple.  Hertzler struck out seven and gave up seven hits and no earned runs.
