Guilford Doubles-Up Cheshire in 12-6 Win

May 6, 2023

The Guilford Grizzlies extended their winning streak to 7 games with their 12-6, Cinco de Mayo victory over the Cheshire Rams on Friday at GHS. Guilford hammered out 14 hits, including 5 doubles, on their way to their 13th win of the season.

The game began with Cheshire taking an early 2-0 lead on Ryan Barbieri's 2-RBI single off Grizzlies' starter, Bryce Meder. However, that would be all the Rams could muster against Meder, who went 4 innings, while striking out 4 to earn his 4th win of the season.

In the bottom of the 1st, Guilford answered back on Michael Buccaro's RBI double to right that made it 2-1 Cheshire. Then in the bottom of the 2nd, Guilford would take the lead for good on Jack Farrah's 2-RBI double that made it 3-2, Grizzlies.

A 6-run, bottom of the 4th for Guilford would spell doom for the Rams' chances of a comeback. With Farrah and Alex Vincent on base, Sam Ametrano would single to right, and both baserunners would score when the ball got by the Cheshire right-fielder to make it 5-2, Guilford. Ametrano advanced to 3rd on the play and scored on Lucas Deshefy's single to right that made it 6-2. After a Lucas Ametrano walk, Buccaro stroked his 2nd double of the game over the Ram 3rd-baseman's head, scoring Deshefy and it was 7-2, Grizzlies. Up next was Bryce Meder, who singled to center scoring both Lucas Ametrano and Buccaro for a 9-2 Guilford lead heading into the 5th.

Andrew Shosho came on to pitch a 1-2-3 top of the 5th. In the bottom of the inning Guilford would add a 10th run on a Mike Buccaro sacrifice fly, his 3rd RBI of the game. In the bottom of the 6th, Alex Vincent doubled over the left-fielder's head, scoring Cole Morgan-Berry for the Grizzlies' 11th run. Brandon Rosa singled in his 1st Varsity at-bat, moving Vincent to 3rd and Joe Tafro would drive in Guilford's 12th and final run with a sac-fly that scored Vincent.

Shosho tossed 2 innings without allowing an earned run, before Deshefy came on to get the final 3 outs in the 7th.

Michael Buccaro went 2 for 3 with 2 doubles and 3 RBI, Alex Vincent went 2 for 3 with a double and a RBI, and Jack Farrah went 1 for 2 with a double and 2 RBI. Bryce Meder had a hit and 2 RBI, Sam Ametrano & Lucas Deshefy both had RBI singles, Lucas Ametrano had a double and 2 runs scored, and Carter Williams had 2 hits in the game.

The Grizzlies are now at 13-3 on the year as they prepare for 2023 Senior Night on Monday, May 8th, vs. Wilbur Cross at GHS Field. Gametime has been moved to 4:15 p. but fans should arrive by 3:30 p. to enjoy the pregame festivities, when the team will honor their 2023 Seniors and their families.
