Two hits were all Sharon needed to beat Pine Plains


SHARON — It is not often that a team is held to two hits and still wins.

This was the case Monday night, when the Sharon Colonial Baseball League team defeated Pine Plains 4-0 at Veteran’s Field, despite mustering only a pair of hits.

"We play a different kind of baseball," Head Coach Bob Chatfield said. "We definitely play a lot of small ball."

Small ball was the name of the game Monday. Sharon scored in every conceivable way, from a fake bunt to a passed ball to a perfectly executed suicide squeeze.

John Rooney had a double and scored three runs. Sam Carling added a single for the team’s only other hit.

Sharon was able to hold the lead thanks largely to a stellar pitching performance from Nick Dignacco, who threw a one-hit shutout.

Dignacco struck out seven and walked three in six innings of work to earn the victory. After allowing a hit in the first inning, Dignacco pitched lights-out for the remainder of the game.

"He pitched great," Chatfield said. "We found a way to win."

The game was the first of the season for Sharon, whose next game will be Saturday night at 6 p.m. in Lakeville.

Colonial players are in the 13 to 16 age group.
