WORCESTER, MA--- Worcester’s fifth consecutive win 10-6, coupled with a Thursday night come from behind Brockton win over New Jersey, puts the Tornadoes in first place by one half game in front of the Jackals.
Ryan Lobban (8-3) notched his league leading eighth win, fourth in a row, on this night with six quality innings of three run baseball. Lobban coughed up three two out runs in the first before settling into a four-strikeout outing.
The Tornadoes scored in four of the first five innings en route to a ten run, thirteen hit ballgame. Chris Colabello knocked out his sixth long ball of the season with two outs in the fourth was one of four extra base hits, the others a triple from Vinny Pennell and a pair of doubles from Omar Pena.
New Hampshire staged a mini-come back in the seventh with two outs against Nick Conway with three straight hits from Angel Molina, Chris Kelly, and Jabe Bergeron, but it was too little too late for the camo clad Defenders. Eddie Pena got the last out of the seventh and tossed in three outs a piece for the eighth and ninth as well to close out the visitors.
Worcester will get a chance to lengthen their lead on New Jersey tomorrow night when the Jackals breeze into the HIP for a three game set. Guiseppe Granitto (0-3) will throw for NJ in his fourth start against the Tornadoes. Worcester counters with rookie Ryan Quinn (0-0) making his second professional start.
