The Chiefs and Rattlers each took in a game in today’s doubleheader.  In the first game, the Chiefs got the bats going and won 8-5.  Wellington Castillo went three for three with a double, a homerun, three RBIs and a run while Joshua Lansford had two hits, two runs and two RBIs.  Jacob Renshaw was hit hard but he improved to 3-0.  He gave up five runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.

Game two didn’t go quite as well and the Chiefs lost 5-3 in eight innings.  Jeremy Papelbon gave up the walk off two run homer while Marco Carrillo had a rough start and didn’t even finish the fourth inning.  Russell Canzier hit a solo homerun and James Adduci went two for four with a double and an RBI.
