Marcos Perivolari fanned six batters and gave up just four hits as he notched his sixth victory this season. Twins James and Ian Nish drove in five of the Tuckers’ seven runs. James Nish went 2 for 3, with a double and three RBIs. Ian Nish also went 2 for 3 and had two RBIs.
The Tuckers wrapped up 2014 regular season play with a 17-1 record in League VIII, 18-2 overall, compiling more victories than any other varsity baseball team in Suffolk.
