MAYVILLE — The Dunkirk Marauders (2-1, 3-1) handled Chautauqua Lake (0-4, 1-4), 9-2, in a Section VI CCAA Division 1 West baseball game at Chautauqua Lake High School, on Thursday. From the lead-off spot, Phil Messina powered the Marauders offense going 5-5 with three RBI and a stolen base in their 9-2 victory.

“Phil Messina was 5-5 from the lead-off spot,” said Dunkirk head coach Frank Jagoda. “He was his usual stellar self from behind the plate.”

Lucas Porpiglia started on the mound for the Marauders, but it was Tristan Skelly who finished the game. Skelly got the win after pitching five innings and giving up three hits with three strikeouts.

“It was Lucas Porpiglia’s first start,” said Coach Jagoda. “He [Porpiglia] will help us out of the bullpen. Tristan Skelly did really well and he might be our third starter.”

Gavin Saurland pitched for the loss for the Thunderbirds. Zach Fischer got three hits and Cody Triana got two in the losing effort.

Dunkirk will travel to Silver Creek today.

Chautauqua Lake will hope to get their first league win today as they host Southwestern.
