Chefs Top Hammers 23-11

O'ROURKE FIELD, WEST QUINCY - A steady hitting attack combined with some big McInnis Carpentry defensive miscues late in the game resulted in a 23-11 win for the Chefs Friday night in West Quincy.

Most of the game was close. The Chefs opened with four runs in the first only to see the Carpenters come right back with four of their own in the bottom of the inning.

Down 10-4 in the third the Hammer offense scored five runs on hits by Mike Palmer (3-3, HR, RBI), Scott Logan (2-3, 2 RBI) and a big bases loaded triple by Mark Free (2-4, 4 RBI).

Up 12-10 in the fifth the Chefs pounded out four runs, getting a big three run bomb from their cleanup hitter who finished with three home runs on the night. In the seventh they put the game away with a nine hit inning and capitalized on big back to back errors in the Hammer outfield. The Carpenters were outscored 12-1 in the final three innings.

With the loss McInnis Carpentry drops to 5-2 on the year. They have a rare week off before resuming play against seven-time league champion Flanagans.
