OLD ORCHARD BEACH — The Watertown Bucks (8-4) completed a series sweep of the Old Orchard Beach Surge (3-7) with a 3-1 victory Thursday night at The Ballpark.

The game started off great for the Surge, with its defense taking down the Bucks 1-2-3 in the first inning, including a highlight reel-worthy grab from center fielder Jacob Fabry.

The game remained scoreless until the fourth inning, with an error at short giving the Bucks a 1-0 lead. A sacrifice hit from Eddie Malone made it 2-0.

Catcher Joe Coyne tried to rally back the Surge, with a stand-up double to deep left, but he was left stranded on second base.

The Bucks took a 3-0 lead in the sixth, with Ryan Sabalaskey leading off with a home run for the Bucks. The Surge defense then shut down the Bucks, with Coyne connecting with Krobetzky at first for a pickoff. That was then followed up by a reaching grab by second baseman Chris Ray to end the inning.

Newly acquired right fielder Yeicok Calderon ”“ a former New York Yankees prospect with 45 home runs in two minor league seasons ”“ started off the sixth with a lead-off blast to right field, making it 3-1 Bucks.

The Surge looked to rally back in the eighth, loading the bases with only one out in the inning. Keeping with the series trend, the Surge was unable to capitalize on the opportunity, making OOB 0-for-5 in the series with the bases loaded.

Luis Pardo took over the on mound for the Surge in the ninth, ending the night for starter Jeremy Hall. Hall recorded four strikeouts, five hits and no walks over eight innings. Pardo did his job in relief, giving up no hits and striking out two.

Jacob Fabry led off the ninth with a flare to shallow center for a single. He was stranded on second to end the game, however.

The Surge will hit the road for New York Saturday, not returning home until June 22.
