Game 4_East Boston Knights @ Revere Rockies_05_30_11
Knights fight, can't climb Rockies
CHELSEA, MA………………The Knights hot start to the season was cooled off by the Rockies. The game was closer than the final score as the Knights showed signs of being a playoff team early in this one before the wheels fell off in the 5th. Branden Eaton was sharp to start only allowing a handful of baserunners thru 4 innings. The Knights defense was shoddy in the 5th as they allowed 4 unearned runs in the frame. Offensivley McCarthey quieted the hot bats of the Knights until the 7th when the Knights got to him and forced the Rockies to go to thier bullpen. The Knights had the tying run at the plate with 2 outs but could not climb all the way back. Revere drops Eastie 6 to 2.
