Saints Headed to Finals - Blank Turners Falls on a Four-Run Seventh, 4–0
Yasu and Feltovic combine for a two-hit shutout at Hopkins Academy — all the damage done in the final frame
For six innings at Hopkins Academy on Tuesday evening, Andrew Ciaglo was doing everything right. The Turners Falls AC starter was dealing — seven strikeouts, just three hits allowed across 6.1 innings — and the scoreboard read zeros for both sides heading to the seventh. Then St. Joseph's Saints broke it open all at once, and Ciaglo couldn't hold the door.
Two Turners Falls errors in the seventh ignited the rally before St. Joe's even had to do much. Ryan O'Leary reached on a walk, Jake Hayes drew another, and then Joey DiMichele lifted a sacrifice fly to bring home a run. Greg Vouros drove in another. Four runs scored in the inning — two of them unearned, gifts from a Turners Falls defense that had been sharp all night until the moment it mattered most. Ciaglo absorbed the loss despite a line that, on a different night in a different inning, might have been a winning one.
The pitching story belonged to St. Joseph's. Trey Yasu opened on the mound and was untouchable through three innings — two hits, zero runs, zero walks, mixing his pitches with the composure of a veteran. Jack Feltovic took it from there and was even better: four innings of work, zero hits, zero runs, four strikeouts, and just one walk. Combined, they allowed two hits and held Turners Falls hitless over the final four frames. Feltovic induced a Cal Bellens groundout to close it out and pick up the win.
The Saints finished with only three hits themselves — O'Leary, Pat Fitzgibbons, and Yasu each collecting one — but four walks and two TFAC errors did the rest of the work. Brandon Magni was the busiest glove on the field, handling seven chances without a miscue as St. Joe's played a clean, errorless game. K. Barnes and Bellens were the only Turners Falls players to reach base with hits, and the home side managed just one walk on the night against a Saints pitching tandem that was in complete control from the first pitch.
The Saints will play Teddy Bear Pools and Spas in the Finals.
