Calderon and Valentino Go Deep in the Third as bankESB Hold Off DOC Spartans, 10–5

Gauthier works 6⅓ solid innings; a four-run first and back-to-back home runs in the third put the game out of reach early at Bullens Field

Wednesday, July 22 · Bullens Field

bankESB needed just two innings on Wednesday at Bullens Field to turn this one into a comfortable evening. A four-run first gave them the lead, back-to-back home runs in the third blew it open, and Griffin Gauthier did the rest on the mound — the final a 10–5 bankESB win over DOC Spartans to close out the regular season.

DOC actually struck first. An ESB error and a Patrick Hefner single down the left-field line in the top of the first each scored a run to give the Spartans an early 2–0 lead. bankESB answered immediately and emphatically. Dan Provost singled to score one, James Rocco doubled to score two, and Joshua Pacho drew a walk that plated a fourth — a four-run bottom of the first that wiped out the Spartans' lead and set the tone for the night. Then came the third, when Albert Calderon and Nick Valentino hit back-to-back home runs to stretch the ESB advantage to 9–2 and put the game well out of reach.

Gauthier earned the win in workmanlike fashion, going 6⅓ innings and allowing eight hits and five runs — three earned — while striking out three and walking two. Jack Stathatos came on in relief to record the save, capping a clean finish after Gauthier's exit. Stathatos also contributed on offense, going 3-for-4 to lead ESB in hits, and Calderon finished 1-for-4 with three RBI to pace the lineup. Valentino added two hits to go with his home run.

Anthony Rosado took the loss for DOC, allowing nine runs on nine hits over five innings while striking out six — a tough outing despite the strikeout total. Aidan Sullivan and Daniel Spaulding each collected two hits for the Spartans, Ramos drove in two from the three-hole, and Spaulding swiped two bases. DOC finishes their regular season with this defeat; bankESB closes the books on the year with a statement win at home.

Saints Build a Nine-Run Lead, Then Survive PeoplesBank's Late Charge, 9–7

Fitzgibbons goes 3-for-4, Harrington drives in three, and Yasu weathers a wild night on the mound as St. Joe's holds on at Bullens Field to close the regular season

Thursday, July 23 · Bullens Field

It was the kind of win that makes a dugout age in real time. St. Joseph's Saints built a nine-run cushion through four innings, watched PeoplesBank claw back seven of those runs on a parade of walks in the final two frames, and then somehow — mercifully — held on for a 9–7 final at Bullens Field on Thursday to close out the regular season.

The Saints did their damage early and often. The second inning was the turning point — Greg Vouros walked to score one, Devin Slattery walked to score another, Jake Hayes was hit by a pitch to drive in a third, Joey DiMichele singled to plate two more, and Colby Harrington doubled to score a sixth. Six runs, most of them without a ball leaving the infield in any meaningful way. Three more crossed in the fourth — DiMichele drove in two and Vouros added another — and just like that, St. Joe's led 9–0 heading into the fifth and appeared to be cruising.

PeoplesBank had other ideas. Four runs in the sixth — a walk, a walk, a walk, a walk, and a groundout — made it 9–4. Three more in the seventh tightened it further to 9–7, and suddenly Bullens Field was a different place than it had been an hour earlier. But St. Joe's, to their credit, didn't blink. The final out was recorded, the final score stood, and the Saints close the regular season with a win.

Trey Yasu earned the win, going 5⅓ innings and allowing just two hits while striking out four — the modest hit total masking a wild night of six walks that kept PeoplesBank's threat alive throughout. Jackson Hayes came on in relief and got the final five outs, though he too walked five and surrendered three runs over 1⅔ innings. Offensively, Pat Fitzgibbons led the way with a 3-for-4 afternoon, Harrington went 2-for-4 with three RBI, and Slattery added two hits. DiMichele handled eight chances in the field without an error and the Saints turned two double plays. For PeoplesBank, Jachym took the loss despite the heroic late comeback effort — he allowed nine runs on seven hits over five innings, with his club drawing 11 walks as a team in a losing cause.

DiMichele Drives In Five, Saints Erupt for 22 Runs in Road Rout of DOC Spartans

Seven in the second, five in the third, five more in the fifth — St. Joe's scored in every inning at their own field while playing the visiting role

Monday, July 20 · St. Joseph's Field

There was a certain strange symmetry to Monday at St. Joseph's Field: the Saints played as the road team on their own turf, and then proceded to act like it didn't matter at all. Joey DiMichele drove in five runs on three hits, the lineup scored in all five innings, and St. Joe's piled up 22 runs on 11 hits against a DOC Spartans pitching staff that simply had no answers — a final of 22–7 that is as complete an offensive performance as the Saints have put together this season.

The Saints were on the board immediately. In the first, Jake Hayes laid down a sacrifice bunt and Dillon Slattery grounded out, each scoring a run for an early 2–0 lead. Then the second inning arrived. Seven runs, three hits — Devin Slattery walked to score one, Hayes singled to score another, DiMichele doubled to drive in three, an error plated one more, and Slattery singled to cap the frame. The Saints led 9–0 after two innings and showed no signs of slowing down.

Five more in the third — errors, hits, and DiMichele singling home another run — pushed the lead to 14–0. DOC finally answered in the fourth with seven runs on eight hits, Rosado doubling home two and a string of singles from Arroyo, Spaulding, Ramos, Chipman, and Rodriguez Vega each plating one, making it 14–7 and briefly giving the Spartans something to build on. But St. Joe's closed the door in the fifth with another five-spot, DiMichele doubling home one more and three runs scoring on errors to make it 22–7 and seal the rout.

Adam Pryzbycien earned the win, going four innings and allowing 11 hits and seven runs while striking out four. Kevin Dupras threw a clean inning of relief. DiMichele finished 3-for-3 with five RBI to lead the offense; Hayes and Devin Slattery each collected multiple hits; and Fitzgibbons drew two walks while going errorless at catcher with five chances handled. For DOC, Rosado was the bright spot with a 3-for-3 afternoon and two RBI, and Chipman added two hits. The Spartans stole four bases and turned a double play but committed five errors — a rough afternoon in the field to match the rough afternoon on the mound. St. Joe's head to PeoplesBank on Tuesday.
