Barnums Score Early and Often to Stay Undefeated

The Bridgeport Barnums scored early and often on the way to a 10-1 victory over Simsbury on Friday night at Seaside Park in Bridgeport. 

The Barnums put on two in the first, two in the second, four in the third and then it took until the sixth for them to score again, when the added a final two runs. 

In the first inning, Pablo Aquino tripled to lead off. Two batters later, with Jose Vasquez at the plate, Aquino came in to score on a passed ball. 

Vasquez would then double and come home on an Ian Nilsen single to center field. 

Two runs scored in the second inning as Cam Forte came in on a wild pitch and Mike Porzio Jr. raced home on a passed ball. 

In the third, four consecutive walks to open the inning pushed across the fifth Barnum run. With the bases still loaded, Forte doubled to right to clear the bases and extend the Barnums lead to 8-1. 

In the sixth, with Porzio on second, Meyer Stransky singled to center to bring in Porzio. The next batter, Bryan Vazquez doubled to left field to bring in Stransky to cap the scoring. 

Aquino and Stransky each had two hits for the Barnums to plate the offense. 

The pitching got the job done as well, working into and out of trouble. Zach Broderick, Luke Stasko and Sean Fallon combined to allow just two hits while striking out 13. Simsbury left 11 men on base. 

The Barums are right back in action on Saturday at 11am versus West Haven at Seaside Park.
