Way to Go, Boys!
After finishing a very close second in the inaugural City League Tournament,
the BLA Boys Varsity Baseball team has continued its season-long strong
performance under head coach Armand Veneziano in the Division 2 State
Tournament. Last week, they defeated Pentucket 3-1 on the strength of a
clutch pitching performance by Senior Mike Matthews and an outstanding
defensive play in the top of the 7th inning by freshman 3rd baseman Tommy
Brown to preserve the win. On Tuesday 6/5/07, Mike pitched a no hitter and
Junior Steve Leahy had 3 hits including a home run when BLA knocked off
Number 1 seed Reading on its home field. On Thursday 6/7/07, in quarter
finals action, the Dragons take on Masconment at Lowell Memorial Stadium at
4:00 PM.
