Suffield Falls to South Windsor In Wild Little League Contest

The Cardiac Kids strike again.

Nathan Main's third hit of the game in the bottom of the sixth inning gave the South Windsor Nationals an 11-10 victory over Suffield on Sunday.

Nationals lefty starter Jake Donald was masterful through the fourth inning before being relieved in the fifth with a 6-2 lead.   

Suffield mounted a furious comeback, scoring five runs in the fifth to take a 7-6 lead, only to have South Windsor regain the lead at 10-7 with four runs in the bottom of the sixth.  

Suffield again came back on a three-run homer by cleanup hitter Benjamin Nigro.

Main's walk-off hit followed clutch singles by Will Nowak and Jimmy Tamburro, who had four hits on the day, and a walk by Jason Ray.

Tamburro was terrific on the mound, pitching a scoreless sixth inning in relief to set up the winning rally for South Windsor.

South Windsor leadoff hitter Andrew DeCasperis had a pair of hits and a walk, and second baseman Jacque Bouquot made an outstanding grab of a line drive that would have scored a couple of runs.

In addition to Nigro's blast, Suffield got key hits from second baseman Donovan Webb and Brendan Looney.
