THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, July 19, 2019 Page 17 OBITUARIES | from page 18 Yawkey League Rockies keep on rolling By Greg Phipps olding an impressive 15-1 record entering midweek and pulling away from the rest of the pack in the Carl Yastrzemski Division, the Revere Rockies can perhaps begin setting their sights on the Yawkey League playoffs. Convincing wins over the Brighton Braves last week and Charlestown Townies on Sunday (by a combined score of 26-11) helped set the stage for Tuesday’s 10-5 win at South Boston. Jacob Byrne and KenH ny Polanco each drove in three runs. Polanco smashed a three-run homer while Byrne, Adam Del Rio and Mike Lembo (two RBI) each stroked two hits, and Ryan Petrone finished with three knocks. Pitcher Chris Sandini upped his season mark to 5-0 with a five-inning effort. Though he labored a bit, giving up three runs on nine hits, Sandini handed the ball over to Gehrig Schilling (two runs, two hits), who was able to navigate through the final two innings. If there has been anything resembling a weak spot for the Rockies of late, it has been the pitching, which had surrendered 16 runs over the last three contests leading up to midweek. However, Revere was still second league-wide in pitching with an impressive team ERA of 2.04. The regular starting tandem of Joe Shepard (5-0, 0.71 ERA), Sandini (1.47 ERA) and Alex Wong (4-0, 2.10 ERA) has been nearly flawless. The team had allowed just 33 earned runs all year. Offensively, the Rockies lead the league with a .321 team batting average and 119 runs scored in 16 games.
