Twin Killing.

One day after Friday the 13th, Pace’s Michael Tamburino took on the role of Jason Voorhees on the mound.

The Setters (18-14, 7-7) bludgeoned the American International College Yellow Jackets (5-14, 4-9.) 9-1 earlier this afternoon behind Tamburino’s dominance. Tamburino surrendered just one run while striking out 13 yellow jackets in his complete game victory.

“I really felt awesome out there today,” Tamburino said. “Everything was working for me, I felt like I could pitch the second game too and only give up a run.”

            Tamburino’s confidence that he could win the second game of the doubleheader sparked his team. Yet, as well as Tamburino pitched, he did need his teammates to provide run support.

Setters designated hitter Kyle Turnier made perhaps the most difficult job in baseball look incredibly easy.  The Waterford resident got two hits and drove in four runs off the bench for the Setters in the win.

“The hardest thing in sports to do is to come off the bench cold and deliver,” Turnier said. “I was lucky that I saw a couple of pitches that I could drive and took advantage of the other team’s mistakes.”

            Although Turnier went hitless in the second matchup between the two teams the result remained similar. The Setters pulled off the day-night sweep with a 11-4 victory.

            For the second game in a row, the Setters got a quality performance from the designated hitter. Sophomore James Pjura delivered three runs on three hits to raise his season RBI total to 20.

            “I have to give a lot of credit to the guys in front of me,” Pjura said. “They are getting on base and putting me in position to put runs on the board.”

            The Shelton resident was not the only one providing punch for the Setters. Second baseman Chris Gill provided two additional RBI’s to add to the Setter’s season total of 178 RBI’s.
