With a playoff win on the line, Tuckahoe rose to the challenge on Thursday. They came out on top against the Haldane Blue Devils by a score of 7-2. Seven seems to be a good number for the Tigers as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Jack Rideout spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits and racked up 13 Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Tuckahoe let Rocco Briante and Tyler Pian run wild. Briante went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases, one triple, and two RBI, while Pian got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. What's more, Pian posted two hits, the most he's had since back in April. Marco Marcoccia also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
