Greg Gentle got the win with three innings of scoreless relief while striking out four.

Game three of the series is scheduled to be played at Morelli Field in Melrose on Monday night at 7:45 PM.  In the event of wet grounds at Morelli, there is a possibility that the game could be moved to Fraser Field in Lynn. A decision will be made early Monday and will be posted here.
