Shedding The Monkey? Late Inning Surge Helps M.C. Topple Morrell Club 22-13


HOUGHS NECK, MA - For years the Morrell Club has owned McInnis Carpentry. No matter how successful the Hammers season was going there was always the boys from the Morrell Club lurking in the shadows, ready to crash the party.

After a four game losing streak that spanned two years the Hammers took a step in the right direction to shedding the monkey off their back as they outscored the Morrell Club 17-3 in the final three innings to win 22-13 last night at LaBreque Field.

"Well, it's certainly a big win and it feels good to finally beat these guys," said Hammers GM Tom Fratolillo "But we still have the playoffs and they're going to be around for a long time. We'll just take this win and enjoy the moment."

Down 10-7, the Hammers scored 7 in the top of the sixth to take a 14-10 lead. The Morrell Club answered right back with 3 to cut the lead to one. With two outs and a run in the Carpenters strung together 8 straight hits to push the lead to nine and complete the season sweep.
