The Bishop Fenwick baseball team put in some serious OT Saturday, knocking off Archbishop Williams, 2-1, in a 14-inning marathon that assured the Crusaders at least a share of the Catholic Central League Large championship. The teams meet again this afternoon in Braintree and Fenwick (12-3, 9-2) would clinch the title outright with a win.Joe Levasseur led off the 14th inning with an infield single deep to the shortstop hole and took second on a throwing error on the play. He moved to third on a wild pitch and scored the winning run when sophomore Mike Campatelli lined a single well over the drawn-in outfield.”It was quite a game to pull out,” said coach Kevin Canty.Andrew Lessard worked the first seven innings for Fenwick, striking out eight and allowing a single run in the fourth inning. James Delisola went two and two-thirds innings and made a key play in the ninth, covering the plate to record the second out of the inning after a wild pitch.

Basilesco also delivered the winning run in the first inning with a bases-loaded single. Lynnfield tacked on two runs in the fifth, courtesy of Connor Lordan’s run-scoring single and Connor Sullivan’s sacrifice fly.”Greg did a terrific job, kept them off balance all day.
