SAUGUS – The Peabody baseball team put on a clinic Monday on how to play a nice, neat, tidy little game.Saugus was the victim.The Tanners were economical in almost every phase of their game. They pitched efficiently, fielded efficiently, and hit efficiently. And they won efficiently, too, 6-1, over the Sachems at World Series Park to raise their record to 10-3.Click here for a photo gallery.”That’s a dangerous team over there,” said Saugus coach Pat Petrone. “They probably have one of the best lineups in the Northeastern Conference. Every hitter looks dangerous up there.”Leading the way for the Tanners was pitcher Marc Linehan, who hurled a four-hitter and struck out three. And while those certainly aren’t eye-popping stats, it suited Peabody coach Mark Bettencourt just fine.”We talked before the game about him attacking the strike zone,” Bettencourt said, “and that’s what he did. And because of that, and because Saugus put the ball in play, our defense was on its toes, and it played well (no errors). It was exactly the kind of ballgame we wanted out of him.”And, of course, the Tanners were just as methodical at the plate. Even though they did get 13 hits, they didn’t really pound Saugus starter Mike Silva all over the place. What they did do, however, was stay patient on Silva’s curve and take it the other way several times during the game.”We were aggressive,” Bettencourt said, “and we didn’t let him get ahead of us so he could throw that curve.”But we know he has it,” Bettencourt said. “And we worked on waiting on it, and taking it the other way.”The best example of that came in the seventh inning when left-handed hitter Ryan English got behind 0-2 and dumped one of Silva’s roundhouse curves into left field for a single and a run.Peabody scored in the first inning when Jarad Shields doubled and scored on English’s base hit. The Tanners doubled that lead in the second when Brad Piza singled, stole second on a botched pitchout, and came home on Jimmy Leavett’s single.The only real fielding miscue for either team occurred in the fourth inning and helped Peabody score two more runs. Ramses Vittini led off by hitting a sky-high popup into short right field that fell between three fielders for a double.”You have to make the basic plays,” shrugged Petrone.A walk and singles by Brian Latorella and Leavett scored the two runs before shortstop Craig Cole pulled off a nifty 6-3 double play, and then ranged well into the hole on Mark Finochio’s grounder and made a long, accurate throw to first to nail him for the third out.Linehan, 4-0, made one of his few mistakes in the fifth inning and Cam McBride parked it over the fence in right-center to give Saugus its only run.Peabody got two more runs in the top of the sixth when Shields and Finochio hit back-to-back doubles and English singled.
