Tuesday was a great day for Josh Bente, as he clubbed three home runs to carry the MCI three (11-2) to a 24-14 victory over the knighthawks (4-11) at Bellport Field #2 in seven innings.

Bente racked up nine RBIs on five hits for the MCI three. He homered in the second and third innings, singled in the fifth inning, and doubled in the seventh inning.

Anthony Savino rocked the MCI three with two home runs. Savino went 3-4 in the game with five RBIs and two runs scored. Savino homered in the first and third innings.

The two teams combined for 38 runs and 39 hits, including zero extra base hits.

Eighteen runs in the opening three innings allowed the MCI three to easily put away the knighthawks. A solo home run by Bente, a three-run single by Joe Bonventre, a solo home run by Brian Flaherty, a two-run double by Chris Coletti, and a three-run home run by Bente in the second inning fueled the MCI three's offense early.

Manuel Macedo recorded his second win for the MCI three even though he allowed 14 runs over seven innings. Macedo struck out one, walked four and gave up 17 hits.

Jeff Hanlon was charged with his seventh loss of the year. He allowed 24 runs in seven innings, walked five and struck out two.
