PATRIOTS HOME RUNS TOO MUCH FOR BEARS

NEWARK, NJ – July 14, 2007 – The Somerset Patriots hit three home runs to defeat the Newark Bears 7-2 Saturday evening at Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium. Despite the loss, the Bears hit four doubles including two by shortstop Pat Peavey and a team-leading 22^nd by third baseman Corey Smith.

With the Patriots ahead 2-0, Somerset right-fielder Elliot Ayala and shortstop Teuris Olivares each hit solo home runs in the top of the third inning. It was Ayala’s second of the season and Olivares’ fifth.

The score remained 4-0 until Patriots third baseman Pat Boran hit a three-run home run, his first of the season, in the top of the fourth to give Somerset a 7-0 advantage. Boran ended the game 1-for-4 with three RBI, while Ayala ended 2-for-5 with a run scored and RBI.

The Bears scored their runs in the bottom of the ninth inning when right-fielder Joe Jiannetti hit a sacrifice-fly to score first baseman Victor Rodriguez, and catcher John Pachot singled in Smith. Pachot and Peavey each ended with two hits to lead the Bears offense.
