The Alibrandis finished the month of June back on top in the Ted Williams division.

The Somerville Alibrandis temporarily fell out of first place in the Ted Williams division but won two of their final three June games to regain the top spot.

The Alibrandis were shutout for the first time all season last Tuesday against the Revere Rockies. Both teams’ pitchers were lights out in the contest and the game was scoreless through nine innings. Revere would score a run off of Marc DesRoches in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game in celebratory fashion.

Chris Foundas pitched extremely well for Somerville, only allowing one hit through nine innings of work. He’s only allowed an earned run in two of his seven outings this year and his ERA currently sits at 1.08.

After going scoreless on Tuesday, the Somerville bats came alive on Wednesday. The Alibrandis scored 10 runs on the Forest Hills Force for a 10-1 victory. Somerville jumped out early with one run in the first inning and four more in the second.

Leading 7-1 through four innings, the Somerville bullpen continued to impress as they rarely allowed a baserunner. Somerville would tack on three more insurance runs in the seventh inning but Forest Hills didn’t stand a chance at a comeback.

Jon Morse picked up his first victory of the season, going three innings after relieving Bryant Guilmette. Mike Maguire and Bobby Barrett provided majority of Somerville’s offense in the game, combining to go 6-for-10 with six runs.

The Somerville offense kept rolling two nights later when they took down the Medford Maddogs, 16-6. The game was relatively close through six innings, Somerville leading 7-3, but the game was broken open with an enormous nine-run seventh inning. Medford would respond with three runs in the bottom half of the ninth but Jay Wisner was able to shut the door and end the game.

David Scioli was the player of the game for Somerville, going 2-for-5 with a grand slam and five RBI. Stan DeMartinis had three hits and scored three times while Justin Crisafulli also had three hits.

With the two wins, Somerville now sits two games ahead of the Malden Bulldogs in the loss column. Somerville shutout Malden 8-0 early in the year and the two will meet again on Monday night.
