Barnums Open Up Playoffs with Victory over Waterbury

Behind Joey Sanguiolo's complete-game four-hitter, the Bridgeport Barnums defeated the Waterbury Silverbacks 2-0 on Wednesday night evening at Seaside Park in Bridgeport. 

The Barnums got on the board in the bottom of the first. 

Christian Homa and John Heitzman each singled to put runners on the corners with one out. Will Stellato then came up and dunked a single to right to bring in Homa. One of two hits on the game for Stellato. 

With Heitzman at third and Stellato at first, a pickoff attempt at first base was arrent, allowing Heiztman to come in and score and Stellato to move to second. 

That was all the Barnums would get, but it was enough. 

Sanguiolo did the rest on the mound. 

The Bridgeport side-armer struck out seven and did not walk a single batter in the complete-game effort. 

The Barnums will play in the second round on Thursday vs West Haven at 5:45pm at West Haven High School.
