From the GDT:

 After having their 12-game win streak snapped at the hands of the Rowley Rams last week, the Manchester Essex Mariners got back to their winning ways on the diamond on Tuesday.

In a rematch of that disappointing setback, Manchester struck early and often, earning a convincing 12-5 decision to push their ITL-best record to 15-2. The Mariners scored six times in the second to break things open and added four insurance runs in the sixth to seal the deal.

Lukas Albano (2 runs, RBI), Caz Ostrowski (2 runs), Troy Flood (3 runs, 2 RBI) and Theo Ostrowski (1 run, 1 RBI) led the charge at the plate with two hits apiece. Caz Ostrowski, Flood and Albano all had doubles. Caulin Rogers also drove in a pair, as did Brendan Chauret.

Defensively, Zack Abbott drew the start on the mound and grabbed the win, going five innings while allowing just one earned run and striking out six. Jack Shaw slammed the door with two strong innings of relief, including four Ks.

Justin Bolla had a 2 run home run for the Rams.

Manchester is right back at it on Wednesday to take on the same Rams squad in a rubber match heading down the regular season stretch.

Caulin Rogers (2 hits) had the game-winning knock in the sixth, sending home Brett Moore after the latter had singled up the middle. The decisive run broke open a 5-5 tie at the time.

The win was not only Manchester’s second straight against Rockport this week, but its 10th straight victory overall. The squad now sits comfortably in first place in the ITL standings with a 12-1 record.

Rockport started hot to seize the early lead, as Jack Sperry hit a 2-run homer in the top of the first before Danny Ryan followed suit with a single and was driven home by Will Mueller. In the second, Rockport would make it 4-0 off an RBI hit from Michael Murphy, who sent home Will Cahill (leadoff single).

Manchester would strike back in the bottom half of the frame with RBI singles from Tom Connors and Cory Burnham. Lukas Albano then led off with a walk to start the third and was later batted in by Rogers to make it a 4-3 game.
