PeoplesBank Puts On a Late Masterclass — Blanks Turners Falls, 10-0

Codey Deals Shutout Ball as PeoplesBank Erupts for Seven in the Seventh

Turners Falls Athletic Club held its own for six innings Tuesday night at Frontier Regional, trailing just 3-0 and still very much in it. Then the seventh inning arrived, and PeoplesBank reminded everyone why depth wins ballgames.

With the Athletic Club out of arms and the bullpen door swinging open, PeoplesBank poured seven runs through it. A 3-0 game became 10-0 in a hurry, and what had been a competitive Tuesday night affair turned into a long walk off the field for a Turners Falls club that had simply run out of pitchers to stem the tide.

TJ Thibeu took the loss, but the final line tells only part of the story. The real damage came late, when the game was handed to arms that couldn’t hold the fort. PeoplesBank didn’t need an invitation twice.

On the mound, Codey got the W against a Turners Falls lineup that had shown real fight just 24 hours earlier against St. Joe’s.

Feltovic and Dupras Combine to Silence Turners Falls, 4-0

Saints Pitching Staff Deals Back-to-Back Shutouts — St. Joe’s Defense Holds Firm at Pine Street

St. Joe’s Baseball Club made it back-to-back blanking jobs Tuesday night at Palmer’s Pine Street diamond, turning aside Turners Falls AC 4-0 behind a crisp combined effort from starter Jack Feltovic and closer Kevin Dupras.

Feltovic was masterful through six innings, matching Monday’s Irzyk outing in efficiency if not in strikeouts. He allowed just two hits, walked nobody, and struck out four — the kind of quiet, get-ahead-and-stay-there performance that makes a lineup feel helpless before it quite knows what happened. Perkins worked six innings for Turners Falls but couldn’t match the zeros, surrendering four runs on six hits while the Saints kept finding ways to put the ball in play where it hurt.

The scoring started in the third, a patient inning built on two singles. Nate Carillon got it going with an RBI single, and St. Joe’s was off. Jake Hayes, Devin Slattery, and Brandon Magni each drove in a run to round out the 4-0 final, with Magni pacing the offense at 2-for-3 on the night. The Saints left nothing to chance, playing clean defense throughout and forcing Turners Falls into a double play at a key moment in the game.

Dupras came on in relief to work the seventh, surrendering no hits, striking out two, and inducing a groundout to close the book. Two arms, two shutout halves, one very clean win for a St. Joe’s club that is beginning to look like the team to beat on Pine Street.

For Turners Falls AC, Pete Wagner and Kelley each managed a hit, but the Athletic Club couldn’t string anything together against a Saints staff that appears to be hitting its stride at exactly the right time of the summer.

Irzyk Deals a Masterpiece — Saints Blank Spartans, 6-0

Complete Game Shutout Silences DOC Bats — Harrington and Jodoin Do the Heavy Lifting

There are shutouts, and then there are statements. What Matt Irzyk delivered Monday evening at St. Joseph’s Field was the latter — a complete game gem, seven innings, two hits, zero runs, eight strikeouts, and not a single moment where DOC Spartans looked like they had a real answer for him.

Irzyk was in command from the first pitch. He walked one batter all night — one — and threw 89 pitches with 63 of them finding the strike zone. The Spartans managed only the thinnest of silver linings: a single from Aidan Sullivan and one from Benjamin Rodriguez Vega, both marooned on base before Irzyk could snuff out the next threat. Isaiah Ramos and J. Nohilly each struck out three times. It was that kind of night.

While Irzyk was carving up the visitors, the Saints’ lineup went to work early and never let up. St. Joe’s put two on the board in the first on a pair of singles, with Colby Harrington driving in the game’s first run. Devin Slattery tacked on another in the second with a single down the left field line, and the Saints never looked back — adding one in the fifth and two more in the sixth to put the final score well beyond reach.

Harrington and Mark Jodoin hit back-to-back in the lineup and combined to go 6-for-8 on the night. Harrington’s three singles gave him a clean 3-for-4 line, while Jodoin matched him hit for hit and led the club with two RBIs, going 3-for-4 with a triple and a double among his extra-base haul. Slattery collected two hits, Jake Hayes stole two bases, and Gus Vouros added a double of his own to round out what became an 11-hit Saints attack.

For DOC Spartans, Anthony Rosado absorbed the loss but didn’t pitch without grit — 5⅔ innings, five strikeouts, no walks — he simply ran into a lineup that was relentless and a night when every ball found a glove on the other side. Max Chipman came on in relief and retired the remaining batters, but by then the damage was long done.

Teddy Bear gets past Spartans

Tri-County Baseball League · Western Massachusetts

Fournier and the Bear Den Shut the Door on Spartans, 4-1

South Hadley Outing Belongs to Pitching — Fournier Quiets Spartans Bats, Drobiak Slams It Shut

Pitching wins ballgames, and on Friday at South Hadley High School, Teddy Bear Pools and Spas had plenty of it. A 4-1 win over DOC Spartans was built less on fireworks than on quiet, steady efficiency — the kind that doesn't show up loud, but adds up fast.

The hosts wasted little time setting the tone. Bailey Griggs singled home a run in the first, and Ryan Magni followed with a second-inning double to push the lead to 2-0. A third-inning single from Ty Evans made it 3-0, and from there the math was simple: Teddy Bear Pools had more than enough, and Brenden Fournier made sure it stayed that way.

Fournier was excellent through four innings, allowing just two hits and no runs while striking out four without issuing a single walk. When Matt Drobiak came on in relief, he closed the door for the save, locking down a Spartans lineup that managed only the one run.

DOC Spartans starter Jovanni Merced, for his part, wasn't without merit — six innings of work, eight hits allowed but only three earned runs, a testament to a pitcher grinding through traffic all afternoon. The lone run came courtesy of Gutierrez, who went 1-for-3 and drove in the Spartans' only RBI of the day.

Isaiah Ramos provided a bright spot at the plate for the visitors, going 2-for-3 — the kind of individual effort that, on a day like this, simply wasn't enough to overcome a Teddy Bear Pools club that did the little things right. Magni and Drobiak each collected two hits, and Magni, Griggs, Evans, and Drobiak all drove in a run apiece. The hosts also turned a tidy double play to keep any Spartans momentum from building.

For DOC Spartans, it's another step in a long first-year schedule — and another lesson that in this league, the quiet wins are sometimes the toughest to take.

Saints Cash In on Bankers

Saints Survive A Slugfest, Outlast ESB 14-8

Hayes Cruises Early — Bullpen Holds Off Late ESB Surge In Pine Street Shootout

On a Friday afternoon at St. Joseph's Field, the bats did the talking, and for five innings it sounded like a one-sided conversation. By the time ESB found its voice, the Saints had already said enough.

Jackson Hayes set the tone early, working four innings of two-run ball with six strikeouts, and the Saints' offense backed him without delay. A trio of first-inning singles got things rolling, with Colby Harrington plating the game's first run. The lead grew in the second on a wild pitch and an ESB error — the kind of small, unglamorous runs that pile up into big leads.

Then came the fifth, and ESB reminded everyone they hadn't driven the 4080 Pine Street distance for nothing. Five runs on three hits — an Emmett Garfield single, a two-run double from Grayson Loos, and a two-run triple off the bat of Nick Valentino — suddenly turned a laugher into a ballgame.

But the damage had already been done, and reliever Kevin Dupras slammed the door shut, working around the chaos to pick up the win despite a rocky final frame of his own. On the other side, ESB starter #23 simply couldn't find the strike zone consistency to match his stuff — five strikeouts undone by five runs and four walks.

The Saints' lineup was relentless top to bottom. Nate Carillon, Brandon Magni, and Harrington each rapped two hits, while Carillon, Dillon Slattery, and Harrington each drove in a pair. St. Joe's also showed remarkable plate discipline, drawing nine walks — Devin Slattery and Pat Fitzgibbons each taking two free passes — and turned a tidy double play to keep ESB's rally in check.

For ESB, Valentino was a one-man wrecking crew, going 2-for-2 with three RBIs, while Garfield and Loos each chipped in two hits of their own.

St. Joseph's stays home Monday to host the Spartans — and after a 14-8 shootout like this one, Pine Street might want to stock up on extra baseballs.

Saints Gut Out a Thriller at Westfield State, 5–4

Jodoin's bases-clearing single in the sixth stands up as Yasu battles through seven gritty innings for the complete-game win

Wednesday, June 10 · Westfield State University

There were lead changes, blown advantages, clutch knocks, and a whole lot of baserunners Wednesday evening at Westfield State University. When the dust settled, it was St. Joseph's Saints standing on the right side of a 5–4 decision over BankESB — a game that had absolutely everything a summer-night baseball crowd could ask for.

St. Joe's grabbed the early edge when Mark Jodoin grounded out to score a run in the opening frame, but BankESB wouldn't allow the Saints to breathe easy for long. The home club answered in the second on a James Rocco groundout, then knotted it again at two in the third when Nick Valentino singled down the left-field line after Greg Vouros had nudged St. Joe's back in front on a walk. ESB even grabbed the lead outright in the fourth when they singled to score a run and give the home side a 3–2 advantage, the kind of momentum swing that can deflate a road club in the middle innings.

But this St. Joe's lineup wasn't going quietly. Jodoin — who had already driven home the first run — came back to the plate in the top of the sixth and delivered the decisive blow: a single that scored two runs, put the Saints back in front 4–3, and effectively flipped the script on BankESB's evening. A fifth run followed, and suddenly the Saints had something worth defending.

Trey Yasu made sure they held it. The hurler worked all seven innings for the complete-game victory, navigating around six hits and four runs — three earned — while punching out seven and walking two. It was not an immaculate outing; ESB put men on base and tested him repeatedly. But Yasu was at his best when the game was tightest, and that's the only kind of performance that matters in a one-run game.

The story on the ESB side was a pitching staff that couldn't quite hold it together. Grayson Loos opened and issued eight walks in three innings — a remarkable display of wildness that gave St. Joe's 10 free passes on the night as a team. Jake Hayes alone drew three walks for the visitors. Jack Stathatos relieved and struck out five over four innings but took the loss, surrendering three runs on three hits before the Saints broke things open. Valentino and Stathatos each went 2-for-the-night for ESB, and the home side matched St. Joe's with four stolen bases — Emmett Garfield swiping two of them. Nick Burns handled 10 fielding chances without an error, the busiest glove on the diamond.

St. Joe's posted five hits from five different players — Vouros, Jodoin, Jack Feltovic, Brandon Magni, and Colby Harrington each collecting one — with Jodoin's three RBI carrying the offensive weight. The Saints welcome BankESB back on Friday, a rematch that should be circled on every calendar in Western Massachusetts.

Saints Go Extras to Break the Bank

Irzyk Goes the Distance as Saints Edge BankESB, 3–1

Irzyk goes the distance and Harrington clubs his first career TCL home run to break an eighth-inning tie at Westfield State

Tuesday, June 9 · Westfield State University

Neither starter blinked for much of Tuesday evening at Westfield State University. Through seven innings, Matt Irzyk and Andre Phanuef traded zeros with the kind of quiet authority that makes a ballpark lean forward. In the end, it was a solo home run by Colby Harrington and a St. Joseph's Saints defense that never cracked that made the difference — final score, 3–1.

St. Joseph's drew first blood in the top of the first when Mark Jodoin doubled to plate a run, putting early pressure on Phanuef and the BankESB defense. The lead didn't last long. Grayson Loos doubled down the left-field line in the bottom of the third, evening the score at one and setting the stage for the standoff that would define the next four innings.

The tie held until the eighth. Harrington stepped in and turned on a pitch — a solo home run, his first in Tri-County League play, that gave St. Joseph's the lead for good. An error extended the margin to 3–1, and Irzyk needed only to finish what he'd started.

Finish it he did. Irzyk worked all eight innings — 24 outs recorded — allowing seven hits and one run, striking out four and walking one. It was a complete-game effort in every sense: controlled, consistent, and never in serious danger despite the tightness of the score. The Saints' defense backed him cleanly; not a single error on the night, with Nate Carillon handling the most chances at five.

Phanuef was nearly as good on the other side. The BankESB hurler went seven and two-thirds innings, surrendering three runs — two earned — on 10 hits, with eight strikeouts and no walks. His strikeout-to-walk ratio tells a story of a pitcher who commanded the zone but ran out of room when Harrington's bat made contact. Loos and Albert Calderon were the offensive catalysts for ESB, hitting back-to-back and each collecting two hits. Loos drove in the club's only run. ESB also turned a double play in the field.

St. Joseph's collected 10 hits and got contributions throughout the lineup, with Jodoin and Harrington each driving in a run on their signature at-bats. The Saints now prepare for a quick turnaround — they're back at BankESB on Wednesday.

Teddy Bear Shuts Out PeoplesBank, 15–0

Kelleher-Mochak deals five scoreless as Kagan drives in four in a dominant Monday rout

Monday, June 8 · South Hadley High School

Teddy Bear Pools and Spas wasted no time Monday evening at South Hadley High School, sending eight men to the plate in the bottom of the first and not looking back en route to a 15–0 blanking of PeoplesBank. The margin was never in question.

The first inning established the tone with swift and relentless efficiency. Bailey Griggs drew a walk that scored a run, Xavion Maldonado doubled to bring home two more, a PeoplesBank error allowed another pair to score, Sean Rosemond drew a walk to push across yet another, and Alex Gochinski grounded out with enough to score one more. Six runs — before PeoplesBank could exhale.

The scoring resumed in the second when Travis Kagan singled to plate one, and the third inning became an exercise in patience and plate coverage. Ray Toth hit a sacrifice fly, Willie Landman singled to center, Griggs singled to right, Kagan grounded into a fielder's choice, Ty Evans doubled to center, Rosemond singled down the right-field line, and Ryan Magni singled down the left-field line — each driving in a run. Seven different players contributed to that inning. Kagan finished the night with four RBI on a single hit, the most efficient line on the card.

Nate Kelleher-Mochak was untouchable on the mound. The starter worked five innings without allowing a run, giving up just two hits, striking out four, and walking one. It was the kind of outing that makes a winning pitcher's night feel almost anticlimactic — he threw strikes, got outs, and watched his offense do the rest.

Jackson Lavalley absorbed the loss for PeoplesBank, lasting just one inning and allowing one run on one hit. The final score reflected a difficult evening for the visitors, who managed only two hits on the night — one apiece from Hogan G and Macdonald.

Teddy Bear collected 10 hits as a club, with Magni, Rosemond, and Maldonado each going 2-for-the-night. Equally notable was the team's discipline at the plate: eight walks drawn, with Griggs and Gochinski each earning two. Teddy Bear also played a clean game in the field — no errors, with Evans handling the most chances at five. On this Monday, everything worked.

Teddy Bear Doubles-up the Saints

Tri-County Baseball · Western Massachusetts · Est. 1929

Teddy Bear Rolls Past
St. Joseph's, 12–6

Drobiak goes four for the W as Teddy Bear's offense erupts for 17 hits

Friday · June 5, 2026

Teddy Bear Pools and Spas came to play from the opening pitch Friday evening, stringing together three singles in the top of the first to open the scoring. Landman got things started with an RBI single, and Teddy Bear never looked back, pulling away from St. Joseph's Saints for a 12–6 final.

The visitors extended their lead methodically in the second inning. Toth doubled down the left-field line and Jimenez followed with a triple to center, each driving in a run and pushing the margin to three. Another run crossed in the third when Rosemond doubled down the left-field line on an 0–2 count in a patient, opportunistic at-bat that kept the pressure on St. Joseph's starter Jack Feltovic.

Feltovic absorbed the punishment for three innings, ultimately charged with six runs on 11 hits with two strikeouts and no walks before departing. The right-hander had no margin for error against a lineup that was putting the barrel on the ball early and often.

The game was effectively put away in the top of the fifth. Teddy Bear Pools sent 17 batters to the plate across the game and concentrated the knockout blow in one five-run burst: Toth singled to score two, then Griggs tripled to center, plating three more. The inning signaled a long night for the St. Joseph's bullpen.

Drobiak earned the win on the mound, turning in four solid innings of work. He surrendered six hits and four runs, struck out one, and walked one — a workmanlike line for a starter who didn't need to be spectacular with that kind of run support behind him.

St. Joseph's was not without fight. Devin Slattery was the offensive bright spot, going 3-for-4 at the top of the lineup, and Pat Fitzgibbons drove in two runs in the middle of the order, finishing 2-for-4. The Saints collected nine hits as a club and turned a double play, but the deficit never permitted a sustained rally.

Teddy Bear, for their part, spread the wealth across the lineup. Landman, Jimenez, Maldonado, and Toth each had three hits on the night, with Griggs and Toth pacing the RBI column at three apiece. Ryan Magni and Rosemond added multiple-hit games of their own. The club finished with 17 hits and also turned one double play in the field.

St. Joseph's will look to regroup when they travel to face BankESB in their next contest.
