Woonsocket shuts out Lincoln

LINCOLN – Behind seven innings of shutout ball by Matt Ledoux and a three-run home run off the bat of Cody Mazzarella, Woonsocket blanked Lincoln, 8-0, Monday afternoon at Chet Nichols Field.
Woonsocket claws back to .500 (3-3) in Division I-North while Lincoln falls to 1-5.
Ledoux scattered six hits, walking four while striking out four. Mazzarella’s big blast came in the seventh, the Villa Novans already ahead 5-0.
Lions starter David Hoey was charged with five charged runs, though thanks to four errors behind him, none of them were earned. Hoey, now 0-4 on the year, pitched into the sixth inning, allowing six hits with six strikeouts and one walk.
Lincoln, which lined out into a pair of double plays, received a 2-for-4 performance from Ryan O’Dell, who also swiped two bases.
