Greeley Pitches Well in Loss at Salem

Jeff Borges (Westport, MA) pitched a complete-game with 10 strikeouts to cap Salem State College’s 4-0, 3-1 season finale double-header sweep of the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Trailblazers Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field. 

The Viking’s finish the season 18-18 with a 5-9 Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference record. The Trailblazers ended their regular season with an 8-22 and a 1-13 conference record. 

Three Salem State pitchers combined for a shutout in game one. Ryan Sharp’s (Townsend, MA) two-inning relief effort resulted in his second win of the season. 

MCLA starter James Greeley (Auburndale, MA) was marked for the loss. Greeley allowed four runs, three earned on seven hits in six innings of work. 

Chris Cocci's (Wakefield, RI) third inning single that drove in Guery Alonzo (Boston, MA) from second base proved to be the game-winner. Cocci was productive for his squad going 3-for-5 with two RBIs in the doubleheader. 

Borges pitched a gem in game two. He allowed only one earned run on three hits with ten strikeouts and one walk. Borges ends his season with a 2-3 record. 

Andrew Kelly (Dalton, MA) received the loss. Kelly was marked for three runs, two earned while striking out six and walking one batsman in six innings. 

Osiris Mendez (Queens, NY) had three hits on the day for the Trailblazers

Devon Davis (Abington, MA) finished 2-for-2 with a run scored.
