BUZZARDS BAY, Mass – Friday afternoon, the Buccaneers hosted the MCLA Trailblazers in the first of three conference games between the two teams this weekend. Coming in, the Buccaneers looked to keep the 'Blazers winless in conference but MCLA had other plans as they shutout the Bucs, 7-0, in the first of their three-game conference series.

How It Happened

The Buccaneers were held to no runs by the MCLA starting pitcher, Bobby New (Pittsfield, Mass) who chucked a complete game, seven hitter. MCLA on the other hand, scored seven runs, the first of which came in the top of the second inning on a Dillon Maxon (Brunswick, N.Y.) double, scoring Joe Toledo (Brooklyn, N.Y.). That would ultimately be all that the Trailblazers needed ut they added six more runs, two in the fourth and four in the eighth to put the game away.
