Cheshire had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt Holy Cross on Wednesday. The Rams were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over the Crusaders. While the Rams didn't have the best season last year (they finished 3-17), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Cheshire got a great performance from Nick Giampietro as he tossed five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. Giampietro has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
