On a beautiful Saturday night in Newmarket, Pickering travelled and ultimately fell flat in a 4-1 loss at the Fairgrounds.
Dan Connolly got the start on the mound for Pickering - and he efficiently worked five strong innings, allowing only 1 run - which was unearned. Unfortunately for the Red Sox - they couldn't muster much of an offensive attack against multiple Newmarket arms, scoring 1 run on 6 hits over the course of the entire ballgame.
Newmarket pulled ahead and broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the 7th inning, managing to scratch across a run off of P Peter Nash, and unfortunately for the Red Sox, they never looked back as Tyler Plumpton pitched the final two frames, holding Pickering off of the scoreboard.
