Baseball
Division 1
#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. The Golden Eagles plated three unearned runs in the first inning to grab an early lead but Attleboro Jonny Pagano blanked the hosts the rest of the way. In the top of the seventh, junior Andrew Gorman led off with a double and senior pinch runner Nathan Lally came home on a single from junior Mason Kolczeweski. A two-out single from senior Brody McKenna pushed pinch runner Jacob Bettencourt to second but Springfield Central got a strikeout to close it. Junior Aidan Landers had two hits, including a double for the Bombardiers. Pagano allowed the three unearned runs on eight hits and one walk, striking out five in six innings.
#18 Lawrence, 2 @ #15 Franklin, 5 – Final
Division 2
#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.
