Softball: English loses to Beverly in 10 innings

English and Beverly battled it out for nine scoreless innings before the Panthers hit pay dirt with three runs in the 10th inning to pull out a 3-2 win at English.Both teams battled gusty winds that made anything up in the air a challenge. Junior pitcher Shanna Zeramby was very tough in the circle for the Bulldogs (1-3), striking out 13, walking four and allowing six hits (three of them in the 10th).?Shanna pitched a great game,” English coach Alisa Fila said. “And defensively she made some great plays.”Unfortunately for English, Beverly pitcher Emily Pitman was also on the money, striking out 14 and allowing only three hits and three walks in 10 innings.The Panthers (2-1) put two runners on base in the 10th and Ally Cabral delivered with a two-run single. The third run came in on a fielder?s choice by Kate Silvestri.English battled back to within a run on a two-run double by Rachel Calnan, but couldn?t come up with the equalizer. Liz Collette (walk) and Emma Trahant (single) scored on the hit.?We played solid defense today,” Fila said. “The kids showed up to play.”Revere 7, Classical 3At Revere, shaky defense (6 errors) and Revere pitcher Sabrina Palermo (13 strikeouts) spelled doom for the Rams. Revere scored two runs in the second and Classical came back to tie it in the top of the third before giving up three in the bottom of the third. The Rams had some defensive struggles and Revere took advantage.?You can?t commit six errors against a team like Revere with Sabrina on the mound,” Classical coach Chris Warren said. “And we left six runners in scoring position.”Ivy Martin took the loss, allowing six hits, striking out five, walking four and hitting two.Revere coach Joe Ciccarello was happy with the win, but said the walks (Palermo had eight) have to come down along with the runners left on base (11). Victoria Russo was 2-for-3 for the Patriots, who sit atop the Northeastern Conference Large with a 4-0 record. Classical is 3-1.Swampscott 2, Gloucester 1At Gloucester, Danielle Mayblyum struck out 10 and allowed only two hits for the Big Blue (2-2). Gloucester scored in the bottom of the first inning, but Swampscott tied the game up in the third after Christina King reached on a double, stole third and scored on a ground ball. Sam Rizzo led off the fifth inning with a double, went to third on a bunt and scored what would be the game-winner on an error.Fenwick 11, Matignon 9At Cambridge, the Crusaders (1-2) trailed 3-0 after one inning, went up by three, 9-6, in the top of the seventh and then saw Matignon score three in the bottom of the inning to tie the game at 9-9.Fenwick went ahead for good in the top of the ninth on a two-run gap-shot home run by Gavy Hart. Brianna Hemeon had delivered a clutch two-run double earlier in the game.Katie O?Brien (3-for-4), Mikayla Porcaro (2-for-4, 2 RBI) and Brianna Hemeon, two-run double, led the way offensively for Fenwick.Peabody 3, Triton 1At Peabody, the Tanners (2-1) spotted Triton a run in the top of the fourth but came back in the bottom of the inning to score three runs. Dom DelBone (2-for-3); Taylor Davney (RBI single) and Nicole Graffton (2 hits) led the offense. Shelbi Wilson (5 hits, 7 strikeouts, 4 walks) picked up the win.Danvers 15, Winthrop 2At Winthrop, the Vikings, who are missing several starters, including their pitcher, catcher and center fielder due to injuries, had a tough outing. Danvers scored 12 earned runs on 13 hits. Winthrop (1-2) had three hits, including a double by Taylor Thomas. Kendall Meehan picked up the win for Danvers.In other action, North Shore Tech defeated Salem, 10-1.
