Rox Set Home Hit Record Sunday Against Colonials

BrocktonPost
BROCKTON--Ed Nottle, who led the Brockton Rox to the franchise’s only championship as field manager in 2003, was hired as the club’s coach Sunday, according to a statement from Rox officials.
Nottle was suited up for his first game back on the bench Sunday, July 11 when the Rox walloped the Pittsfield Colonials 13-6 and the team set a new record for the number of hits on its home turf with 22.
“We’re thrilled to have Ed’s positive energy and enthusiasm back in the clubhouse,” said Rox CEO Chris Carminucci.
“We feel that Ed’s spark will be contagious and will help the team reach its expectations.”
Nottle replaces Bob Didier, who resigned from the club for personal reasons.
With Sunday's win the Rox's record stands at 22-19, just one game behind the Can-Am leading Colonials who will be at Campanelli Stadium tonight for the second of a three game series.
The 22-hit game fell short of the Rox's 24-hit all-time record which was set in July 2006 when the Rox were on the road against Nashua.
