First baseman Vinny Scavone led the BC charge in the second with a two-run home run, while right fielder Brian Macchi drove in three runs when he nailed a triple. Scavone finished 3-for-5 for the game, while scoring and driving in two runs. Macchi also had a solid day from the plate, as he went 2-for-3 with three RBI and one run.
