Boulders Take Quebec To 12 Innings, But Lose Third Straight Game

Capitales for 8-7 win.

Keith Brachold’s first homer as a Boulder looked to be a big one, as his 12th-inning blast gave Rockland a 7-4 lead, but an error opened the door for a four-run rally and a Quebec Capitales 8-7 win Saturday night. The Boulders (0-3), will now look to salvage the finale of the set as the teams will play again this afternoon before the Boulders head back to Provident Bank Park in Pomona for their home opener on Tuesday, May 22.

No. 9 seed Pearl River overcame a five-goal deficit in the second half to beat top-seeded Nyack, 16-15, in Saturday's Section 1 Class C quarterfinal game at McCalman Field in Nyack.

The Nyack girls lacrosse team had just scored its fourth unanswered goal to take a five-goal lead on Pearl River in their Section 1 Class C quarterfinal playoff matchup when Pirates' Coach Laurie Mayernik called a timeout. “I told them I’m not ready for the season to end and I don’t think they were either,” Mayernik said. “My seniors -- we call them the Fab Four because there’s four of them -- it was their dedication and their ability to get [the rest of the team] excited. They told them, ‘It’s not ready, it’s not time.’ And these girls just went out and played for them.” Over the final 16:36 after the timeout, No. 9 Pearl River out-scored top-seeded Nyack by six goals to pull out the 16-15 win Saturday morning at McCalman Field in Nyack. …

Pearl River sophomore pitcher Mandy McCarthy pitched through bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning on the way to a 3-0 shutout victory over Tappan Zee Friday.

Pearl River sophomore pitcher Mandy McCarthy took a very different route form her first game against Tappan Zee this season, but the result was the same Friday night at South Orangetown Little League's Bailey's Field in Orangeburg. McCarthy shut Tappan Zee out again, this time escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the fourth, to lead Pearl River to a 3-0 victory. "It's great to get out of a situation like that," McCarthy said. "It shows our team's toughness." "We got the bases loaded," Tappan Zee Head Coach Gene Kousoulas said. "We just didn't finish the job. One or two hits there, it's a tie game at least. "Facing Mandy all the time is not the easiest thing. It doesn't matter what the score is, what the situation. She's got a job to do …
