ERIAL - The Roughriders fell to 9-8 on the season in their
4-1 loss to ProTroyouts on Sunday. It was the third straight loss for the team, which again
couldn't muster much offense. The Roughs took a 1-0 lead in the third when Dan Severino reached
on a hit-by-pitch, stole second, and advanced home courtesy of two wild pitches. But that
would be if for the offense, which collected just four hits (Severino 2-3, Ian Wallace 2-4).
Starter Mike Reagle (1-2) pitched well over four innings (3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K) but took the
loss.

July 25, 2005
HADDONFIELD - The Roughriders scored two runs in the
bottom of the seventh to tie Hardenberg 4-4 on Monday night. Dave Vadurro's sharp, one-out
grounder to first ricocheted into right field allowing Mike Carlino (walk) and Dan Severino
(single) to score the tying runs. The Roughriders jumped out early in the first, when Severino
doubled to lead off the game, was sacrificed to third by Matt Longo, and came home on a sac
fly by Mike Carlino. Hardenberg scored two in the fourth off Rob Schork (3 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K)
to go ahead 2-1, but the Roughs tied it in the sixth. Vadurro (2-4) singled to lead off the inning,
stole second, and came home on Rob Oryl's double to dead center. The bullpen of Mike Reilly
(1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER) and Tom Ford (2 IP, 4 H, 0 ER) kept the game close until the seventh, when
Hardenberg broke through with two runs to take a 4-2 lead before the Roughs rallied to tie it.
