The matchup between Cranston West and Portsmouth on Tuesday hardly resembled the 3-0 effort from their previous meeting. The Falcons sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 12-10 victory over the Patriots. The game snapped a strange streak: the last four times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.
Cranston West gave Anthony Campagnone the start and clearly made the right call: he struck out six batters over four innings while giving up four earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits (and only one walk). Campagnone also tossed a walk, which is notable because the Falcons are 3-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 7-9 otherwise.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Dylan Milano, who fired off two home runs, six RBI, and three runs while going 5-for-5. He is becoming a predictor of Cranston West's success: when he posts at least one home run the team is 2-1 (and 8-9 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Josh Albizu, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and three RBI.
