Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, July 12, 2019 Wins keep coming for Rockies By Greg Phipps T he Revere Rockies appear to be running away with the Yawkey League’s Carl Yastrzemski Division, having played 13 games and sporting a 12-1 record as of early this week. Revere entered this week’s action coming off an eight-day layoff but still owning a relatively safe division lead over the secondplace East Boston Knights. The Rockies resumed action on Wednesday night at the Brighton Braves and then travel to face Savin Hill on Friday. They conclude the week by hosting the Stoneham Sabers on Saturday at Revere High School. It will be the team’s fi rst home tilt in nearly three weeks. In Revere’s most recent win – a 4-3 besting of Charlestown back on July 1 – the Rockies pounded out 12 hits, but it took a comeback eff ort to emerge victorious. Jacob Byrne (three RBI), Alex Wong and Zach Aresty each had two knocks while six other players contributed single hits. Wong drove in Revere’s other run and both Byrne and Bobby Foote added doubles. Ryan Petrone scored twice for the Rockies. Revere trailed 3-0 before rallying for three in the top of the seventh and winning it in extra innings. Revere’s pitching continued to get the job done as Kevin Sinatra (three runs, four strikeouts) started and worked 6 1/3 innings before Jon Shepard, now 5-0 on the season, took over for him and hurled 2 2/3 scoreless and hitless frames with fi ve Ks to earn the win. Back on June 26 at East Boston, the Knights showed they won’t be an easy foe the rest of the season or potentially in the playoff s. The Rockies were actually out-hit, 5-3, but managed to squeeze across a run in an eventual 1-0 triumph. Aresty had the lone RBI; Argeny Villa scored the run; and Petrone, Foote and Adam Del Rio each singled. Starter Chris Sandini collected his fourth win of the season by allowing just four hits and no runs in six innings. Shepard came in and closed it out in the bottom of the seventh. Revere’s Alex Wong contributed two hits and an RBI in a 4-3 comeback win over Charlestown back on July 1.
