NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- Matt Shilling drove in a run with two outs in the bottom of the eighth to complete a comeback for the North Adams SteepleCats, who tied North Shore, 4-4, in the Cats' home opener on Saturday.

 

It marked the first home game since the 2019 season for the SteepleCats, who saw their entire 2020 season wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

North Shore jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the top of the third at Joe Wolfe Field.

 

Aidan Wilde hit a two run double in the bottom of the fourth to get North Adams within a run.

 

In the eighth, Jon Kozarian reached on a walk and moved up on a wild pitch ahead of Shilling's single.

 

Jeremy Lea went 3-for-5, and Charles Middleton and Shilling each had a pair of hits.

 

The SteepleCats used three pitchers in the contest, which ended in a tie score after 11 innings. Jordan Yoder and Landon Wileman each went four innings with no runs allowed.

 

North Adams (0-1-1) goes to Vermont on Sunday.
