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.
