“The fireworks started at 7 o’clock,” DelSignore said.

Trailing late in an elimination game in the AAABA Tournament, New Orleans manager Bill Babin put his trust in a few of his veteran players.
It paid off.
Joe Broussard pitched his way out of a jam and Sean McMullen hit a two-run, inside-the-park home run that sparked the Boosters to a 7-4 victory over Cleveland at Point Stadium Friday afternoon.
With the game tied at 1 in the fifth, New Orleans starting pitcher Craig Pellegrin tweaked a muscle pull that had sidelined him earlier in the season. Joshua Wood entered the game with a 2-0 count on Andrew Frey and threw two balls to him to force in the go-ahead run. Wood threw two more balls to cleanup hitter Kevin Bernay before Babin had seen enough.
