GPMABL Red Sox

Red Sox Repeat Falls Short

2011-09-14T23:01:00.002-04:00

After weeks of rainouts and re-scheduled games, the Red Sox finally took the field for their semi-final playoff matchup against the Colt 45's. To make up for lost time, the best-of-three series was shortened to one game this past Sunday at Hartford Crossing Field. The Colt 45's sent 2011 GPMABL Cy Young Award winner Ian Downes to the mound, while the Sox countered with the 2010 Cy Young, Eric Guise.

The Red Sox could only muster two unearned runs against the Colt's ace, and lost 6-2. Although the quest for a repeat championship came to an abrupt end, the Red Sox still enjoyed a visit from their #1 fan, Aidan Peterson. Aidan is the son of former Red Sox teammate Don Peterson who passed away four years ago. Thanks Aidan's mother, Amy, for the picture!

No Hits? No Problem.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Red Sox squared off against the Muckdogs. The Sox won the season series 3-1, but the Muckdogs wouldn't go down without a fight.

Although the Sox did not register a hit, they small-balled their way to three runs by way of walks, errors and stolen bases.

Bret Binder took the mound for the Sox, and has been looking more and more like his pre-surgery self. He pitched a solid 6 innings, while working out of several bases-loaded jams with the help of his defense. Joe Gorman finished off the 7th to earn the save.

Shout out to teammate Fred Kerner for the pictures. He took a bunch, and here's the rest of the album.

The skies opened up after the game, and rained out the subsequent matchups. Because of the rain, the revised playoff schedule has the Sox playing one game on Sunday, at 12:30pm, against the winner of the Colt 45's and Outlaws. It will be a best-of-three series, with Game 2 and 3 (if necessary) played the follow Sunday, on August 21st.

This Sunday's game will be at Plymouth Meeting.

Red Sox Split Third Doubleheader in a Row

2011-07-29T23:18:00.005-04:00

Game 1 featured a classic pitcher's duel as the co-1st place Colt 45's featured veteran Ian Downes on the mound versus the Sox ace, Eric Guise. Although the Red Sox only managed four hits, they made them count. Bryan Withrow singled in the 4th inning, then stole second, third and then home to put the first run on the board for the Sox. Bill Johnson's single in the top of the 7th inning broke up the 1-1 tie, scoring Guise from 2nd. Despite some shaky defense in the bottom half of the inning, Guise closed out the Colt 45's and picked up the W as the Sox prevailed 2-1.

The Red Sox couldn't find any answers at the plate or in field in Game 2, as the Colt 45's bounced back to earn the split.

Here are the updated stats.

Sox Split with Comets

2011-07-14T21:13:00.004-04:00

Playing without their two aces, the Sox battled for a split with the 1st Place Comets of the Franklin Division.

In Game 1, Brett Hiett pitched a complete game with 13 strikeouts to lead the Red Sox to a 8-6 victory at La Salle University. The field turf was hot, but the Sox bats were hotter as they cranked out 17 hits.

But in Game 2, the patch-work pitching staff gutted out seven innings, but the bats and defense cooled down. A late come-back fell short, and the Sox lost 13-8.

Will Caton led the Sox with five hits at the plate.

Matt Altomare Tosses a No-No

2011-05-24T21:12:00.004-04:00

Matt Altomare made GPMABL Red Sox history on Sunday as he pitched a no-hitter in Game 1 against the Muckdogs. A couple of highlight plays by the defense helped preserve the gem, and the Sox bats provided plenty of cushion with nine runs.

Fellow Ace Eric Guise and Bret Binder combined to hold the Muckdogs to one run in the second game to close out the sweep. Guise also continued his hot hitting with a 6-7 day. He has 10 hits in his last 12 at-bats, to raise his team leading batting average to 0.667.

2011-05-04T23:06:00.005-04:00

The Red Sox improved to 5-1 with a sweep over the Outlaws on Sunday. Matt Altomare battled on the mound while giving up six runs, but set a career high with ten strikeouts and the offense provided him 9 runs to work with. Bryan Withrow scored 4 runs and went 3-3 at the plate. Joe Malloy pitched a scoreless 6th and 7th inning and picked up the save. The final score was 9-6.

In Game 2, Brett Hiett had a solid start on the mound for the Red Sox. He allowed one run on two hits, while walking only one and striking out eight. Newcomer John Mehl picked up his first hit in 30 years as he returned to the diamond after last playing organized baseball as a youngster. The highlight of the game featured Bret Binder's long-awaited return to the pitching rubber after two major shoulder surgeries. He took the mound amid applause from his teammates and pitched a scoreless 7th inning. Bret is third in the league in career strikeouts, and has been with the Red Sox since 2005. Welcome back Bret!

Brawlers are the First Sweep Victim of the Year

2011-04-13T00:09:00.009-04:00

The Sox had a solid effort on the field, on the mound and in the batter's box on Sunday as they swept the expansion Brawlers 5-1 and 6-2. The Sox ran wild in the first game, with Eric Guise nabbing four bases, and Brian Freiland setting a career high with two stolen bases - effectively doubling his previous season high. Rumor has it that his bunt base hit was a career first as well. It must be the shoes.

In Game 2, it was Bret Binder's time to shine at the plate as he made a push for the Pudding Lane player of the week prize. He went 3 for 3 with a double and an RBI. The former Red Sox ace, who is recovering for two shoulder surgeries, shows us he's also a weapon in the lineup.

Red Sox Start With a Split

2011-04-06T21:55:00.007-04:00

The Red Sox 2011 season started with a convincing 14-0 win over the expansion Muckdogs that featured fourteen walks and four HBP earned by the offense. Eric Guise picked up where he left off in 2010 and pitched four scoreless innings to earn the win. Joe Gorman pitched a scoreless 5th and the game was called due to time constraints for the field. Leadoff hitter Steve McDermet reached base four times and scored four runs.

The second game was a different story as the Muckdogs pitcher Josh Gansky kept the Sox hitters off-balance all game while holding them to two runs and earning the Muckdogs' first franchise win, 5-2.

Red Sox 0 - Colts 2

Colts 2 - Red Sox 3

In game two of the semi-finals, the Red Sox couldn't get the bats going and were shut-out by Colt 45s' ace Ian Downes. With the series tied 1-1, the Red Sox carried a 3-0 lead into the 7th inning, but the Colt 45s wouldn't go quietly. The Colt 45s scored twice, but with the tying run in scoring position, Red Sox ace Eric Guise coaxed a routine fly ball for the third out to clinch the series.

In the other semi-final, the A's topped the Phillies two games to one. The two teams with the best regular season records met for Game 1 of the Finals which was the third game of the day for both teams.

The Red Sox showed now mercy on the A's depleted pitching staff. The Sox offense scored every inning and racked up 15 runs in 5 innings. The A's managed just two runs before the game was stopped due to darkness in the top of the 6th inning. Since this is a playoff game, the game must be finished and therefore will resume Sunday at 10am at Richie Asburn Field in FDR Park.

Don't Call It a Comeback

2010-08-09T00:12:00.007-04:00

Once again the Red Sox needed a comeback to defeat the Colt 45's. This time, it was the second round of the playoffs.

The Red Sox earned a first round bye, and took on the Colt 45's who defeated the Comets earlier in the day. Today's game was the first in a best-of-three series.

After a rough 2nd and 3rd inning, the Red Sox found themselves down 4-0. After chipping away at the lead, the Sox eventually tied the game. In the bottom of the 7th, Jason Williams led off the inning with a single. Bill Johnson put down a sacrifice bunt to advance Williams to 2nd, but an errant throw allowed Johnson to advance to 2nd, and Williams to 3rd. Steve McDermet was intentionally walked to load the bases and set up a force play. Will Caton stepped up, and worked a long count. With 2 strikes, he lined a base hit up the middle to seal the come from behind 5-4 victory.

Final stats from the season and today's game have been uploaded.

The Red Sox return to Richie Asburn field for game 2 against the Colt 45's next Sunday. Game 3 will follow (if necessary).

2010-08-02T22:14:00.003-04:00

Down 6-4 in the 7th inning, the Red Sox stormed back with three 2-out runs to beat the Colt 45's 7-6 and clinch the Penn Division Pennant.

The Red Sox battled the Comets for a pair of one-run wins to bring their winning streak to 11 games.

In the first game, Bill Johnson led off with a walk and scored on an error in the bottom of the eighth to win the game 3-2 in extra innings. Eric Guise pitched his fifth complete game to improve to 9-0 on the season.

The second game featured a once-in-a-lifetime play in the bottom of the sixth inning. The Comets loaded the bases with no outs, trailing by one run. In relief, Joe Malloy allows a lazy flyball to centerfielder Bryan Withrow. With the runner on third base tagging up, Bryan throws a rocket to catcher Steve McDermet who tags the runner out at a close play at home. The runner on second attempts to sneak to third base on the play, but Steve was having none of it. He threw a strike to third baseman Bill Johnson who tagged him out at third. F8-2-5, inning over. Brett Hiett came in to pitch the bottom of the seventh and closed the door on the Comets for his second save and the Sox win 4-3.

Sox Sweep Away the A's

2010-05-24T01:39:00.004-04:00

The Red Sox took over first place in the GPMABL Penn Division by sweeping the A's in today's doubleheader at Hartford Crossing field in Medford, New Jersey.

Eric Guise earned his fourth win on the season with a complete game shutout, and the Sox scrapped their way to four runs on offense to take the front end of the doubleheader.

The Red Sox won the back end of the doubleheader in dramatic fashion in the bottom of the 7th inning. Steve McDermet led off with a walk, promptly stole second and then moved to third on a groundout. With one out, Craig Denlinger was intentionally walked to setup a double play. This brought to the plate one of the team's hottest players, cleanup hitter Jason Williams. J-Dubbs smashed a 1-0 offering over the centerfielder's head to score both baserunners for the win.

The league takes next weekend off for the Memorial Day Weekend. See you on June 6th at 10am as the 8-2 Red Sox take on the winless Aston Outlaws for the first time this season. The Red Sox play host at Latshaw McCarthy.
