Tri-County Baseball League · Western Massachusetts
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.
