COTUIT— Barnstable Post 206 won its second straight game Monday evening at Lowell Park, defeating Pembroke Post 143, 7-5, thanks to a stellar pitching performance from southpaw Dave McCoubrey (1-0) and the clutch hitting of Will Sullivan (3-3, 3 RBI, SB).
McCoubrey went 5 2/3 innings allowing six hits, five earned runs, four walks and he struck out four in a gutsy effort after a shaky first frame when Pembroke scored two runs. But the lanky southpaw kept his composure the rest of the way and picked up his first-ever American Legion victory on the mound. Dave Tierno came in to close things out to pick up the save. Sullivan connected for his first hit of the season, a two-strike double to the left-center gap to drive in two critical runs to tie things up, while leadoff man Will Toffey connected to bring in the go ahead run to make it 3-2. Things went back and forth for a while, but Barnstable's nifty baserunning helped put itself in position to bring home runs and get the job done.
