Carpenters Hammer Out Late Rally To Edge Hofbrau, 16-10

O'ROURKE FIELD, QUINCY - An improved Hofbrau squad raced out to a big 10-1 lead over McInnis Carpentry but were unable to deliver the knockout punch as the Black & Orange recovered and rallied for 12 runs in the last two innings to win 16-10.

The Hammers began the long comeback with solo home runs by Tom Fratolillo, Jim Dennis and Scott Logan. Steve McInnis' clutch two-out double scored two in the sixth and was followed by RBI singles by Fratolillo and Greg Harper which cut the Hofbrau lead to 10-9.

After holding the Hoffy scoreless Dennis led off the seventh with a base hit and moved to third on a single by Logan. That set the stage for Mike Palmer, who delivered with a three run bomb to right which gave the M.C. club the lead. John Gray, Glenn Bosse and Fratolillo all followed with hits before rookie John Bosse connected on a blast to left to give the carpenters a six run cushion.

The Hammers improve to 4-0 on the season and will face the Morrell Club on Wednesday night at LaBrecque Field in Houghs Neck.
