Montgomery
The lead grew to 3-0 when Corrado raced home on an error.
Montgomery added three more in the second against Hawk starter Gavin Ridge.
Collecting three hits and taking advantage of a third Nor-Gwyn error, Montgomery built its lead to 6-0 on an RBI single by Earl Kelly, a wild pitch and a sac fly by Doran.
McGuire, Kelly and Alexander all had hits in the inning for Montgomery.
Nor-Gwyn got on the board in the third, when Ryan Sullivan singled and came in to score on a double steal, making it 6-1.
BACK COME THE HAWKS » Nor-Gwyn came to life in the fifth, keyed by back-to-back, RBI doubles by Ryan Sullivan and John Milligan. Sullivan was in the midst of a sensational night, going 4-for-4 with two doubles and three runs scored. Also impressive was Milligan, who was 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a run
and three RBI.
Wagner Hayden’s sac fly sliced the margin down to 6-4.
“We kind of fell off there in the middle but we came right back at them when it got close,” McGuire said.
Sean Smith’s RBI double widened the gap to 7-4 in the fifth, but then the Hawks got to within 7-6 on Milligan’s two-RBI double.
Doran dug deep for Montgomery, getting Ben Criger to fly out to center for the final out. Doran threw six innings in a winning effort for Montgomery. His finest moment came in the fourth, when he struck out Alex Smith to get out of a bases-loaded jam.
Montgomery bats provided the finishing touches in the top of the sixth.
McGuire drove in a run with an infield single, another run came in on an error, and Matt Currado knocked one in to make it a 10-6 advantage. The game was then called at 7:45, due to another game scheduled to start soon after.
“Hopefully we can carry this momentum on to the next few games,” McGuire said.
