Road Win Lifts Bennington to 2-1 Lead in DS
When the stakes were high, José Romero raised his game to match.

The right-handed Romero turned in a stellar performance in Game 3 of the Division Series, pitching a 9-inning, complete-game shutout to lead the Bennington Melodeons to victory. He allowed 8 hits and struck out 4. The win gave Bennington a 2-1 lead over the Waterville Elms in the best-of-7 series.

Bennington relied on the hitting of Rafael Hurtado to pick up the win. The center fielder ripped a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Melodeons on top, 4-2. For the game, Hurtado had 1 triple and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It was a solid team effort," said Romero after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at The Grove in Waterville.
