REVERE — To say the bats were hot would be a massive understatement in English softball’s 32-20 demolition of Revere. The Bulldogs got it going early and never looked back on the road.
Leanyah Piniero and Gracie Mulloy each scored five runs, and Kate Johannson batted 3-for-5 with two RBI. Arianna Laboy pitched a complete game to go with an RBI, while Ariana Reynoso tacked on another four runs.
English looks to keep the offensive firepower intact Friday in a home game against Melrose at 10 a.m.

Mia Tringale “kept us in it” according to head coach Gary Moran, and the Big Blue squeaked past Winthrop 12-11 on Wednesday.
Tringale scored the game-winning run in the top of the seventh inning on a passed ball, and that was all she wrote. Olivia Barletta impressed on offense with three doubles.
Swampscott returns to the diamond Wednesday at 4 p.m. in a road tilt against Peabody.

English had eight total hits – two from Alijah Wallace to join Falasca in the multi-hit category.

Marblehead 8
Danvers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back en route to a 17-8 victory against Marblehead – headlined by six runs in the fifth inning.
