Baseball: Classical walks the walk against Revere

The Lynn Classical baseball team picked up its first victory of the season on Monday afternoon at Fraser Field, defeating Revere, 7-6, in rather peculiar fashion.With the score knotted in the bottom of the seventh inning, Brad Scuzzarella scored on a wild pitch, which also proved ball four to Andre Gaudet. The winning play came after the Rams (1-3) tied things on a Damien Earp single, which plated Matt Stanley, who started the frame with a base knock.?It was a great feeling as a team to get this first win under our belt,” said Classical coach Mike Zukowski. “Our bats came alive today and finally responded with runners on base. It was a weird ending for sure, but we?ll take it.”The hosts scored twice in both the first and fourth innings.Eric Brazell had an RBI single in the Rams? first trip to the plate before Andrew Moccia was plunked, forcing in a run. Earp reached on a run-scoring error in the fourth, which led to Brandon Devin hitting into an RBI fielder?s choice.Stanley added a two-out RBI single in the fifth, which scored Herbie Newton, who led off with a base hit.Beverly 6, English 5At Beverly, the Panthers secured a walk-off win after Bulldogs pitcher Mike Troy surrendered a two-out, bases-loaded hit batsman. English (1-2) got three hits and three stolen bases from leadoff man Kyle O?Connor as well as two hits and an RBI sacrifice fly from Drew Gentile. Lefty Andrew Napoleon started for the visitors, lasting four-plus innings while allowing 5 runs (three earned) on six hits.Williams 13, St. Mary?s 6At Archbishop Williams, the Spartans (2-2) were done in by a 7-run third, which saw the Bishops start with five straight hits. Ryan Boiselle (1 for 1, double) and Brian Nerich (3 runs) were the bright spots in an otherwise dim St. Mary?s offensive performance.The Spartans were coming off a 6-5 win over Matignon Sunday night at Fraser Field. Matt Constanza got the start and went four innings. Antonio Felix went two in relief and got the win; Clay Yianacopolus picked up the save.The Spartans led 4-0 until the top of the third, when they gave up five runs on three hits. They came back in the bottom of the fifth with pinch hitter Jack Leonard driving in the go-ahead run.St. John?s 4, Cath. Mem. 2At Catholic Memorial, the Eagles (4-1, 2-0 Catholic Conference) got a great pitching performance from Evan Roberts, who allowed only two hits while striking out 11 and walking one. He had a no-hitter going until the sixth inning.St. John?s scored two runs in the third inning on a two-run double by Keith Leavitt and added two in the sixth on a two-run double by Rosario Missigi.

Jake Baressi and Will Vigneron both reached base three times and scored two runs for Fenwick (2-3), who got three RBI from James Traversy.Danvers 11, Winthrop 0At Danvers, the Falcons (2-0) took advantage of an extremely erratic performance from Vikings pitching, which surrendered nine walks and four hit batsmen. Brandon Hyde (2 hits, six strikeouts, 0 walks) improved to 2-0 on the bump for Danvers.Gloucester 6, S?scott 3At Swampscott, the Big Blue dropped to 0-4, despite six solid innings from freshman Gavin Sullivan (4 earned runs), who recorded four strikeouts.
