Weagle tough on hill for Twisters

7/7/2008

BROCKTON — For a moment last night, no one in Campanelli Stadium knew if Chuck Jeroloman was safe or out.

There were two outs in the top of the ninth, and the score was tied at 3. The Tornadoes third baseman had just bowled over Brockton catcher Lee Rubin, as the Rox reserve tried to simultaneously block the plate and catch the throw from right fielder Eugene Julien. And for one fleeting moment, everyone was in doubt.

Then the ball trickled away and Jeroloman wriggled over Rubin and slapped home plate, giving the Tornadoes a lead en route to the 4-3 victory. CONTINUE
