Baseball
Division 3
#37 Belchertown, 2 @ #28 Foxboro, 0 – Final (8 inn.) – Foxboro junior Ryan O’Leary was stellar on the mound but the Warriors’ offense went silent against visiting Belchertown in the state tournament opener for both teams. O’Leary only allowed four hits and three walks, allowing two unearned runs in the top of the eighth while striking out 10 batters. The Warriors had seven hits on the day, and put the tying run in scoring position in the bottom of the eighth, but couldn’t generate a run. Tyler Prescott and Mike Marcucella had back-to-back one out singles in the eighth but were stranded at second and third. Nolan Gordon had two hits for Foxboro.
Softball

#17 Foxboro, 6 @ #16 Danvers, 0 – Final – A three-run first inning handed Foxboro an early advantage and junior Vittoria Cuscia tossed a complete game shutout as the Warriors knocked off Danvers on the road. Emma Callahan (leadoff single), Natalia Leach (RoE), and Meghan Kelly (double) all scored in the first, including the latter two on a two-run single from Cuscia. Kelly drove in Callahan in the top of the fifth and Leach (double) scored on a ground out from Cuscia to tack on two more in the fifth, and Callahan had a two-out RBI single to plate Fiona Dunn in the top of the sixth to make it 6-0. Cuscia was dominant in the circle, scattering just four hits without issuing a walk while striking out five for the win. #17 Foxboro awaits the winner of #1 Dighton-Rehoboth against the winner of #32 Notre Dame (Worcester) and #33 Greater Lawrence Tech.

#17 North Attleboro, 3 @ #16 Milton, 7 – Final – North Attleboro scored first and only trailed by a goal at the end of the first quarter, but a 6-0 run from the hosts denied the Rocketeers’ upset.
