Bro's O does some sweeping over weekend
West Warwick- BOP swept a weekend series over Allies and Independence Bank with two very different outings. On Saturday Phil Deezy and Costa outdueled Jackson Geary and former Bro Jamie DiGidio in a 2-1 barn burner. Phil (4-0) worked the first 8 innings, he allowed 2 hits and struck out four. Of the 24 outs Phillis recorded 16 were via the groundball. Bro's scored 2 runs in the 4th which inevitability lead to the victory. Rossi led off with a single then swiped second. TK walked. Reyes singled home Rossi. With none out TK and Reyes executed a critical double steal to put runner at 2nd and 3rd. With 1 down Jacko knocked in what turned out to be the winning run with an RBI groundout.
The Sunday game was far different versus Independence Bank, the results were the same but the score was nothing like what had transpired some 24 hours earlier. BOP broke open a 3-3 tie with 5 runs in the 4th then tacked on 5 more runs over the 6th and 7th to secure a 10 run mercy rule victory, 13-3. Chris V scooped his first win of the season working 6 innings and allowing only 3 runs. The offense was led by Costa, Naybits and JRo. Costa had two hits, 4 RBI, 3 steals and a run scored. Nayl's worked a 2-2 evening with 3 runs scored and a stolen bag. JRo chipped in a 2 RBI double, 3 runs scored, and 3 steals. Brother's Oven plays two mid week games against the Old Mt. Turcs and the EG Seawolves. Both games will be played at the Bretherns alternate home field, Sprague in Narragansett.
BOP shuts down Seawolves, 7-0
Narragansett- Lus and Nizzy combined on a five hit shutout as BOP defeated the EG Seawolves 7-0 on Thursday night at Sprague Field. Lus dominated the first 8 innings, he allowed 5 hits while striking out a season high 12. The lefty is now 2-0 on the season. Bro's took advantage of some wildness by Seawolves pitching, they issued 7 walks and 5 hit batsmans. Gren had 2 hits, a run scored and an RBI in the win. Bobby continued his hot steak with a double and a run scored. TK and TC both had a single in the contest. Bro's weekend includes battles with both of last year's RIABL finalist, Allies Donuts and Independence Bank (formally Cianti's Restaurant). Both games will be home games at McCarthy Stadium.
Davidson and Gelsomino pitch Bro's past Westcott
Cranston- Brother's Oven bounced back after losing three of their last four games with a victory over Westcott Properties 7-3. Phillis D started for Bro's and ran his record to a perfect 3-0. Phil went 6 strong, scattering 7 hits and striking out 7. Gels picked up the three inning save, his second of the season. BOP got on the board with three in the 1st and added three more in the second. Digi, Connell, and Nay-Bits had RBI's in the first. Connell also chipped in a RBI in the 4th to pad the lead. TK went 3-5 with a run scored and two stolen bags in the victory. Rossi walked three times and had 5 steals. BOP makes one of several trips to the Mosquito Dome (Sprague Field) in Narragansett on Thursday night to battle the East Greenwich Seawolves for the first time this season. Bro's 5-3 early season record has them in a 3rd place tie with the Seawolves.

Bro's O wins Opener 12-3
South Kingstown- Brother's Oven staged a successful return to the RIABL with an impressive 12-3 win over the Old Mt. Turcs in their season opener on Wednesday night. Bro's trailed 3-1 entering the 3rd inning but took a 4-3 lead in the top of the frame and never looked back. The potent BOP attack was a group effort. Of the 15 players that had an at-bat in the game, each and every one had at least a hit, a run, or a RBI. The BOP offense was led by a three hit performance from Digi, one of which was a solo blast over the right center field fence to lead off the 8th. In addition to his 3 hits, Digi also had 3 runs scored. Hevy and T. Cole were also proud members of the 1.000 batting average club after the opener. Hev a 3-3 and Cole a 2-2 day, both also logged an RBI. OC homered in the game as well. Phil Deezy picked up the win going 5 2/3 of middle relief. Phil struck out 11 while allowing 3 hits in his outing. BOP enters one of many eventful weekends on the season, Saturday they finish up an early season two game series with the Turcs at Cranston West then host their home opener on Sunday night at McCarthy versus the Providence Capitals.
Game Notes: Costa, Koch, Reyes, OC, Jimmy, Digi, Hevy, Jacko, JRo, Gren, and TC all had a RBI.....TK and Jimmy had a steal.....BOP banged out 17 hits.
Brother's Oven Announces return to the Rhode Island Amateur League
Warwick- In a written statement Brother's Oven manager Gerry Marzilli announced late Thursday evening that his team will withdraw from the Sunset League of Newport and return to its roots in the Rhode Island Amateur Baseball League. BOP staged a successful season in its one and only Sunset League appearance losing a hard fought three game championship series to the defending champion Towndock Mariners. BOP left the RIABL after winning the 2004 and 2006 championships, coupled with a runner up finish in 2005 they were finalist in their last three seasons in the RIABL. In his statement Marzilli confirmed the rumors BOP would make the switch. Marzilli wrote, "Yes, we are returning to the RI Amateur League for the '08 season". He added, "The RIABL is a 28 game schedule over 12 weeks, with the AABC Tourney as a goal, plus the Albany Trip and a visit by Albany, with playoffs 40+ games". Brother's Oven qualified for three straight regional tournaments, one in Connecticut and two in Massachusetts, over their final three seasons in the RI Amateur League. It was also noted that BOP will play their home games at the friendly confines of McCarthy Stadium, arguably the best stadium in Rhode Island not named McCoy. Brother's Oven previously held their home games at Mickey Stevens C field in Warwick.
