It was a game that could go a long way towards making the Lynnfield baseball team a hard one to deal with in the second half of this season.Trailing Newburyport 6-0 after two and a half innings, the Pioneers hitched up their boots and rallied behind four RBIs from Rick Berardino to take an 8-6 win over the Clippers.”This is huge,” Lynnfield coach John O’Brien said. “Credit to my kids. They stuck with it, started to chip away and earned this win.”Berardino got the Pioneers (7-3) on the comeback trail when he belted a 2-run homer in the bottom of the third. Chris Anderson added an RBI double to cut the Newburyport lead in half.Lynnfield tied the game in the fifth on an RBI single from Dylan Costa and a 2-run Carmine DiCesare double. Berardino then broke the tie in the sixth with another 2-run double.St. Mary’s 8, Austin Prep 1At Fraser Field, Nick Day, Matt Turmenne and Joe Kasper all drove in two runs as the Spartans (8-1, 6-1 Catholic Central League/Large) rebounded from Monday’s loss to Bishop Fenwick.The Spartans scored four times in the first and then one in the third and three times in the fourth inning to give Kurtis White plenty of run support.Whittier 12, Tech 6At Fraser Field, Mike Aybar had a bases-clearing triple as the Tigers hung tough against one of the top teams in the Commonwealth Conference.Marblehead 5, Revere 2At Seaside Park, Ryan Stanojev and Ben Koopman each drove home two runs as the Magicians (7-3, 5-2 Northeastern Conference/South) led throughout.Dan Colbert pitched six innings of two-hit ball before Braden Engstrom came on to get the save in the seventh.

The game will be made up in Beverly on Saturday (4). Also, Classical and Winthrop were wiped out for a second time. No makeup was available.
