NORWOOD – The road to the championship in the Eastern Massachusetts 14-year-old Babe Ruth age group had more plot twists than an Alfred Hitchcock movie.Unfortunately for the Saugus kids, “Hitch” got them in the final scene.In a doubleheader of bizarre events, the seventh inning of Game 2 took the cake.First, let?s examine some of the other oddities. Both scores were 5-4 in favor of state champion Plymouth. Both games went down to the final pitch. Plymouth won both games in its last at-bat. Saugus got a hit batsman called out in Game 2 because the umpire ruled he leaned into the pitch. And Plymouth was awarded an extra base on a balk in Game 1 n a call that factored heavily in its come-from-behind win in the bottom of the eighth inning n only after its coach screamed vehemently and stormed onto the field.Now, we cut to the bottom of the seventh in Game 2, which Saugus entered trailing 5-4 after Plymouth scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the top of the inning. J.D. DeSantis led off the inning with a double to deep right, and Nick Enos followed with a walk.Ryan Henehan executed a perfect sacrifice, putting runners on second and third with one out.Saugus? next hitter, Nick Sweeney, followed with a bullet that pitcher Alex Rozak snared. The ball was hit too hard for DeSantis, who had taken a big lead off third, to react and recover, and Rozak was able to double him up in time to end the game and preserve the victory.?A couple of inches either way,” said manager Derek Sweeney, “and that?s in center field and we win. But ? it wasn?t a couple of inches. He caught it ? and they won.”Thus ended a back-and-forth game. Saugus fell behind in the top of the second, 3-0, before coming back with three of its own in the bottom of the second, batting around in the process.DeSantis led off with a single, and Plymouth pitcher Dan Murphy walked both Enos and Henehan to load the bases. Sweeney?s single got one run home, a wild pitch scored another, and A.J. Guthro?s infield grounder got the tiebreaker home.Saugus took a 4-3 lead in the third inning when Anthony Finnacharo?s bunt single scored DeSantis, who had walked. However, Plymouth tied it in the fourth on Joe Kingsbury?s RBI single.Dom DePesa went all the way for Saugus, “and he did his job,” said Sweeney.” He was fantastic. He was playing hurt, and he just came up big for us.”The first game was just as frustrating for Saugus, as it led 4-3 after scoring the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth. The team needed three outs to win the title and send everybody home at 8 p.m. instead of 11:30. But it was not to be.In keeping with the theme of the evening, Plymouth?s two runs were about as bizarre as they come. Rozak led off the inning by hitting on between pitcher Nick Antenucci and third baseman Riley MacEachern, who tried to make the play but couldn?t get it over there in time.As Antenucci went into the stretch, the Plymouth coaches started screaming that he?d balked. The two umpires n neither of whom had signaled anything previously n conferred and awarded Rozak second base.Tournament MVP Cody Holmes, who pitched seven innings and held Saugus to three runs, followed with a single to left that scored Rozak.As Holmes? brother Jake swung at the next pitch, Cody took off for second. The ball was another squibber, and the throw from third was well off line and went rolling into right field. Cody Holmes n who was severely hampered with an injured leg n never stopped running until he scored the winning run.Saugus was trailing 3-2 going into the top of the seventh, but managed to get the tying run across when, with the bases loaded, Cody Holmes threw a wild pitch. Saugus went ahead 4-3 in the top of the eighth off Murphy, Plymouth’s second pitcher of the game.With two outs, Enos drew a base on balls and went to second on Finnacharro’s single to right field. Guthro worked the count full and then punched a single into centerfield, scoring Enos.Saugus grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning when
