Melrose at Lexington is suspended due to darkness

It was the night the lights went out in Lexington. Power outages had been happening all day in Lexington as the hottest day of the year put a strain on the power grid. The lights went out 2 – 3 times before the game started. Darkness took over at least four more times, including the one that caused the game to be called. The game was finally stopped in the bottom of the third with two outs and a Lexington runner on first at 8:47 pm. Fortunately for both teams, the lights never went out during a play or pitch, but always in between plays or innings. The outages lasted between 30 – 60 seconds. Lexington had struck first scoring a run in the bottom of the second. AJ Lysko led off the inning with a single. He moved to third on two infield outs and then scored on a wild pitch. Melrose’s  Owen Duggan started the third with a leadoff double. The next batter Ryan Bourgeois singled to right and quickly knotted the score at 1-1. As of press time no date has been set for the game to finish.

Americans & Bulldogs Get Wednesday Wins

Owen Duggan went 3-4, with a triple and four RBI’s, to lead the Melrose Americans to a 14-2 win over the Middlesex Expos at Ferullo Field. Chris Klein and John Jennings each chipped in with two hits for Melrose.  Nick Bamforth (2-0) went four innings to get the win………At Maplewood, the Lexington Bulldogs got RBI’s from Vince Libretto and Shane Costello on the way to a 3-2 win over the Andre Chiefs. Coley Schafer (1-0) worked three scoreless innings out of the bullpen to record the win while Nigel Cross blanked the Chiefs in the seventh for his first save……..The Malden Maddogs host the Bulldogs and the Americans visit the Blue Sox in Lexington in tonight’s action. Both games will start at 8:00 PM……….
