#25 Attleboro, 1 @ #8 Springfield Central, 3 – Final – Attleboro put the tying run on base in the top of the seventh but the late inning rally from the Bombardiers cut denied on the road at Springfield Central.

#17 North Attleboro, 1 @ #16 Bay Path, 0 – Final – Senior Zach Corsetti and junior Gio Martello combined to toss a shutout and the Rocketeers’ cashed in for the only run of the game with a two-out hit as North Attleboro landed an upset win, 1-0, on the road at Bay Path. Corsetti helped his own cause with a one-out triple in the top of the fourth inning and junior Ryan Bannon came through with a clutch two-out single to drive in the only run of the game. Corsetti scattered six hits in five shutout innings, striking out two without issuing a walk. Martello was nearly perfect in relief, allowing no hits and just one walk while striking out a pair in two innings. North’s defense turned a double play in the bottom of the fourth with Lucas Crovo throwing out a runner at home with the bases loaded after catching a fly ball. After Bay Path had back-to-back singles in the bottom of the sixth, Martello induced a ground ball for a double play and got another grounder for the third out to escape without any damage. And in the bottom of the seventh, a walk and an error had the tying run in scoring position but Martello got back-to-back strikeouts to end the game. #17 North Attleboro will play the winner of #1 Walpole and #33 Marshfield, which is being play on Monday afternoon.
