EAST HAVEN ? East Haven got an enormous lift from their ace pitcher Michael Anastasio in a 5-0 win over Shelton last Sunday at East Haven High School.
Anastasio allowed just three hits while striking out six. He also went 2-for-3 with a triple and an RBI single.
''We came out and played as a team,'' said Anastasio. ''We hit the ball, had timely hitting, and we played good defense. My velocity was up today, and my curve ball and change-up looked good. I tried to mix it up all day to keep them off-balance. It was a good effort.''
Kyle Lockery paced East Haven?s offensive attack by going 2-for-2 with a single, double, and two RBIs.
The 89ers' loaded the bases in the first inning as Gary Flowers and Zack Korwek worked the count in their favor to earn walks, while Nick Lamberti and Andrew Hinckley scored for a quick 2-0 lead.
Lamberti went 2-for-3 with a single, double, a stolen base and two runs scored in this Zone II contest.
''Nick is a spark plug,? said East Haven coach Joe Pelliccia.
Shelton had a few golden opportunities to capitalize with runners in scoring position, but Anastasio?s pitching prowess and the Easties? defense prevailed in big spots.
''We have a lot of confidence and if you get pitching, it?s the name of the game,'' Pelliccia added. Continued...
Mike Ferro went 2-for-2 with a pair of singles for Shelton (4-3).?We had some pretty good swings on the ball, and drove some balls very well,? said Shelton coach Fred Kelley. ?Sometimes you just have to tip your cap.?
Anastasio's counterpart, Jeremy Soderholm, walked two and struck out four.
''I thought Jeremy's change-up was very effective,? Kelly added. ?His change-up had a lot of bite in it, and kept them off balance to get some good hitters out. East Haven swings the bats very well. I was impressed with their hitting.?
The 89ers improved to 4-3.
''Hopefully, we start to get on a roll, and get on a winning streak and go from there,? Pelliccia said. ?I would like to see a little more hits with runners on base.?
