It took the guys from Boss Automotive a little while to get their offense in gear. Once they did, though, there was no stopping the Automen.
Boss scored all of its runs in the last four innings to erase a six-run deficit and pull out a 10-8 victory over Goshen Beverage in the Gold Division of the Brandywine Valley Senior Softball League.
Ralph Camardelli paced the offense with four hits. Ron Mento, Mike Dalesio, Larry Riggs, Bill Auve and Jerry Montella pitched in with three safeties each.
