Bats come alive as Isotopes improve to 2-0

FAIRHAVEN — Dave Gagliardi had four of the Rose Alley Isotopes’ 17 hits Tuesday night as the bats came alive in a 12-5 victory over the Outlaws.

Gags, who was 0-for-4 to open the season Monday, added four RBIs and two runs scored to his day.

“That’s what we’re looking for out of him,” coach Jon Darling said of Gags. “We want him to hit, but more importantly, we want him to make pizza.”

The middle of the order provided the pop Tuesday. Three-Six hitters (Yim, Gags, Bilty and Gifford) were a combined 11-for-13 with 9 RBIs.

The Outlaws jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, but the Topes (2-0) responded with four in the bottom of the frame and never looked back. Bilty’s 2-run single highlighted the four-run first.

The Topes, who were well represented at the Rose Alley Ale House after the game for beers and wings, will have a few days off before returning to action Tuesday, May 5, for a double-header (KMP at 6 p.m. and Wrecking Crew ay 7:30) at Cushman Park in Fairhaven.
