PeoplesBank Dominates Saints in Early Offensive Explosion - Take 1-0 Series Lead

Peoplesbank absolutely erupted at Mackenzie Stadium yesterday, hanging a resounding 10-0 shutout on the St. Joseph's Saints. The game was effectively decided in the very first inning, as the Bankers stormed out of the gate with a seven-run outburst that left the Saints reeling. It was a clinic in early offense, showcasing Peoplesbank's powerful bats right from the jump. St. Joe's pitcher Feltovic certainly faced an uphill battle from the first pitch, as the Bankers simply couldn't be contained.

This offensive onslaught was spearheaded by Clark, who was an absolute terror at the plate with two hits and four RBIs, including a monstrous three-run homer in that pivotal first inning. Not to be outdone, Seth Allen and Kyle Platner each chipped in with two hits and two RBIs apiece, while Johnny Gegetskas added an RBI single, demonstrating the depth of PeoplesBank's lineup. 

On the pitching side, Jimmy Flahive was nearly unhittable, cruising through five innings, allowing just one hit and striking out two for the win. And if the hitting wasn't enough, Pete Hogan was a vacuum behind the plate, throwing out three potential base stealers, shutting down any flicker of hope for the Saints. This was a complete performance by Peoplesbank, a true statement win.

The Series resumes tonight at St. Joseph's Park in Palmer, with a 7:30 first pitch.

Fitzgibbons Fires Up St. Joe’s in 11–3 Rout of Easthampton Savings Bank - Advance to Finals

Palmer, Mass. — On a summer night at 4080 Pine Street, Pat Fitzgibbons stepped up to the plate and made it his stage. With a bat as hot as the July heat, Fitzgibbons drove in five runs to power St. Joe’s Baseball Club past Easthampton Savings Bank, 11–3, in a commanding victory Friday evening.

Fitzgibbons set the tone early, ripping a two-run double down the left-field line in the bottom of the first to even the score at 2–2. He added a sacrifice fly in the fourth to reclaim the lead, and then sealed his MVP performance with a no-doubt homer to left in the sixth — part of a five-run explosion that left no doubt about the outcome.

“I was just seeing the ball well tonight,” Fitzgibbons said postgame, modest in tone despite his box score heroics. “It felt good off the bat.”

Easthampton Savings Bank struck first, with Toth tripling to center and Michaels following with an RBI single for a quick 2–0 lead. But that early edge quickly disappeared once Fitzgibbons got to work.

St. Joe’s clawed ahead 3–2 in the second on a Greg Vouros RBI single. Easthampton briefly tied it again in the fourth, courtesy of an RBI single from Arooth, before St. Joe’s put the game out of reach with a three-run bottom half — highlighted by Fitzgibbons’ sac fly, a bases-loaded walk to Devin Slattery, and a clutch single by Brandon Magni.

The sixth inning was all about plate discipline and power. Fitzgibbons’ two-run homer ignited a rally that saw St. Joe’s score five runs on just one hit — with three coming on bases-loaded walks drawn by Bobby Trigilio, Aaron Little, and Slattery.

Matt Irzyk picked up the win for St. Joe’s, working five innings while allowing three runs on eight hits. Though not dominant, Irzyk got the outs when he needed them, walking just one and striking out one.

On the other side, Easthampton starter Cusack took the loss, surrendering six runs (four earned) over four innings, with five walks and two strikeouts.

Relievers Jake Petrin and Colby Harrington combined to shut down Easthampton over the final frames, slamming the door with clean, efficient relief.

Despite the loss, Easthampton managed nine hits, including multi-hit efforts from Florek, Palmer, and Michaels. But timely hits proved elusive as St. Joe’s pitchers buckled down with runners on.

St. Joe’s finished the night with just six hits — but made every one count, especially the two that left Fitzgibbons’ bat.

With the win, St. Joe’s Baseball Club continues its strong run through the summer league, and if Fitzgibbons keeps swinging like this, more fireworks are sure to follow.

St. Joe’s opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-run double from Joey DiMichele. The Saints added another in the third on an RBI groundout by Aaron Little.

BankESB Secures Tense Victory in Pitcher's Duel - Take 1-0 Series Lead

The diamond at St. Joseph's Field was the stage for a classic pitcher's duel today, as the home team St. Joseph's Saints fell to a determined BankESB squad, 3-2. The contest was a low-scoring affair defined by strong performances on the mound and timely hitting.

Jack Feltovic, starting for the Saints, delivered a complete game, going seven innings and fanning five batters. However, the game's decisive moment came in the second inning when BankESB's Lenfest connected for a two-run single, capitalizing on a crucial error that allowed a third run to score. This single sequence proved to be the difference maker.

BankESB's Phaneuf was equally impressive, earning the win after pitching a complete game of his own. The right-hander surrendered only five hits and one earned run while striking out six and walking three, consistently keeping the Saints' lineup in check.

Despite a valiant effort to rally, with Dillon Slattery leading the Saints with two hits and Bobby Trigilio driving in a run, the home team was unable to overcome the early deficit. BankESB's Arooth and Palmer also contributed with two hits each, reinforcing the strength of their lineup.

The two clubs are set to meet again tomorrow at BankESB's home field, with the Saints looking to even the score in a highly anticipated rematch.

Joey DiMichele and Brandon Magni delivered back-to-back singles, a miscue in the infield allowed another tally, and Bobby Trigilio lifted a sacrifice fly to cap a four-run outburst.

St. Joe’s Dodges the Collapse, Escapes with 8–7 Nail-Biter over Easthampton Savings

By ChatGPT | ESPN-style recap

Just when it looked like St. Joe’s Baseball Club might coast to a stress-free victory, Easthampton Savings Bank stormed back from the dead—and nearly stole the show. After grabbing a commanding five-run lead by the end of the second, St. Joe’s spent the rest of Tuesday evening holding its breath as Easthampton clawed back with a late-game rally that came one swing away from flipping the script.

St. Joe’s got rolling early behind a thunderous triple from Aaron Little that plated two, and a gritty RBI groundout by Joey DiMichele. They piled on in the second, stringing together a classic small-ball attack—Colby Harrington drove in one with a productive out, Jake Petrin launched a triple into the gap, and Devin Slattery sliced a clean RBI single to center. Before Easthampton knew it, they were staring down a 6–1 hole.

But if St. Joe’s thought they’d buried Easthampton, they were sorely mistaken.

Florek refused to go quietly, going a perfect 4-for-4 and driving in two, spearheading a furious late-game charge. Walks, singles, and timely contact turned into a parade of runs that saw the lead dwindle to just one in the final frames. With runners cycling through the bases and momentum clearly shifting, the pressure fell squarely on the arms of the St. Joe’s bullpen.

Enter Jackson Petrin, who iced the comeback with a gritty relief effort, earning the save and preserving the win for starter Matt Irzyk—who was solid over five innings of work, surrendering just one earned while striking out four.

Offensively, St. Joe’s played aggressive baseball all night. Little drove in a pair and walked twice, Slattery and Bobby Trigilio each notched multi-hit games, and the squad swiped six bags, keeping the Easthampton defense on their heels. It was the kind of mix-and-match offensive attack that gets it done in the dog days of summer.

Still, Easthampton had its moments—seven walks, two double plays, and relentless at-bats that made the final few innings anything but easy for the boys from St. Joe’s.

With the win, St. Joe’s survives and advances. Next stop: a Wednesday showdown at Hilltown. If this game was any indication, bring a cushion—it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Game Notes	Little's Blast Not Enough as St. Joe’s Falls Short in Thriller Against Easthampton Savings Bank   The hits were there, the heart was there, and the late-game drama was textbook Tri-County League baseball. But when the dust settled on a sun-soaked Saturday afternoon at Westfield State University, St. Joe’s Baseball Club walked away with nothing more than a one-run heartbreaker, falling 8–7 to Easthampton Savings Bank despite outhitting them 13 to 9. Aaron Little gave the crowd a jolt of hope in the top of the seventh with a towering three-run homer to right, capping a furious rally that brought St. Joe’s within a run. It was his third hit of the day—part of a 3-for-4 performance that also included a pair of singles in the fourth and sixth innings. Joey DiMichele matched him stroke for stroke, adding three hits of his own, including a key RBI single in the seventh that ignited the comeback attempt. But for all the offensive firepower, the fifth inning proved fatal for St. Joe’s. Leading 3–1, Easthampton Savings Bank erupted for five runs on four hits, highlighted by a two-run double from Florek and a two-RBI single by Moltenbrey. Add in a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch and it was a crooked number St. Joe’s couldn’t quite erase. Pitching was a tale of two halves. Colby Harrington got the nod for St. Joe’s and struck out four over 2.2 innings, but control issues led to five walks and three runs (just one earned). Jake Petrin took the loss after surrendering five runs over 2.1 innings. On the other side, Wagner was solid in two scoreless innings to start the game for Easthampton, earning the win with two strikeouts and no walks. Offensively, St. Joe’s was aggressive on the bases, swiping eight bags—including multiple thefts by DiMichele, Jack Feltovic, and Nate Carillon—and turning a slick double play in the field. Harrington helped his own cause at the plate with two hits. For Easthampton Savings Bank, Florek stood tall, driving in three runs and collecting two hits. Lapoint and Cloutier also chipped in with two-hit days, and the lineup showed discipline with seven walks—two each from Wagner and Genovese. Defensively, Easthampton was flawless, committing no errors and getting seven clean plays from Genovese.

	Game Notes	Petrin Shines, St. Joe’s Bounces Back to Split Doubleheader with 4–1 Win Over Easthampton Savings Bank   With their pride on the line and Game 1’s one-run heartbreak still fresh, St. Joe’s Baseball Club came back with purpose in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, riding the left arm of Jackson Petrin to a 4–1 victory over Easthampton Savings Bank at Westfield State University. The story of Game 2 was redemption, control, and just enough timely hitting. After falling behind early on a first-inning sacrifice fly from Easthampton’s Toth, St. Joe’s quickly answered. Bobby Trigilio lined a single to right in the second inning to even the score at one, and from there, Petrin took the wheel. The southpaw threw 6.2 gritty innings, allowing just two hits and one run while walking eight and striking out five. His brother, Jake Petrin, came on in relief to earn the save and preserve the win. The go-ahead run came on a passed ball in the fourth, one of three runs that slipped past Easthampton’s otherwise sharp starter, Phameuf, who struck out seven and tossed a complete game in the loss. His outing included a highlight-worthy immaculate inning in the first—three strikeouts on nine pitches, a rare feat in any level of baseball. St. Joe’s leaned on a balanced offensive effort, with Devin Slattery, Trigilio, Jake Petrin, Aaron Little, and Nate Carillon each collecting a hit. Trigilio, Petrin, and Carillon also chipped in RBIs, and the defense held firm, turning a key double play to snuff out any rally hopes from Easthampton. Moltenbrey and Toth each logged a hit for Easthampton, who showed patience at the plate with eight walks, including a pair from Arooth. But the bats stayed mostly quiet as Petrin worked his way out of multiple jams with poise. The win gives St. Joe’s a much-needed jolt of momentum heading into another showdown with Easthampton next Saturday, this time on the road. After a hard-fought split, one thing’s clear: this rivalry has plenty of innings left in the tank.
