Final Four

Lodonderry won 10-4.

What a day of baseball. Congratulations to all teams on a great season. The Salem vs. North game was a fantastic battle. Turner/Morency vs. Poore was a heck of a pitchers dual. Nick Poore is a big game pitcher seems everytime I see him in an elimination game in any league he steps up. He did the same in Showcase League, Fall Varsity League, and two starts this post season in Class L.

Turner and Morency both threw very well today also.

Jake Finnegan for Londonderry was very sharp also, best I've seen him throw. Lagasse clearing the bases with a big hit there were many highlights.

Excited for Saturday, not sure if I can take it so many of our guys on both sides.

Yesterday had two good games, congrats to both Londonderry and Salem on their wins. Few guys that I thought really stepped it up on the day were Londonderry's Jake Finnegan who was solid on the mound as well as Dan Lagasse who was just about as focused as a player can be, watching him there was no doubt he was all business. Nick Poore was as advertised, and North's Kyle Turner really turned some heads as he really pitched very well. Morency came into the game in relief and was bringing the heat. All and all a really fun day of baseball for the fans, the crowds were into the game and loud. Looking forward to more of the same today as Class S, Class M and Class I all have their Semi-Final Rounds. If you are in the are Class S is at Plymouth State University and Plymouth Regional High School. Class M is at Memorial Field in Concord. And Class I is at Gill Stadium in Manchester. Good luck to all the players and coaches today.

Congrats to Londonderry and Salem. Poore certainly got the job done.

Congrats to North on a record setting year for the program, just came up a bit short vs one heck of a pitcher. North will continue to contend in the future.

Absolutley, hats off to North this team had a great season and really played their hearts out last night and just fell short. Keep your heads up boys great season.

I am at Hopkinton vs Winnisquam, tight game there was no score until the bottom of 4 when Kyle Pratt doubled off Hopkinton sophomore Sam Bonafont. Matt Roy then hit a RBI single which was followed by a Justin Dorr RBI to put runners at 2nd and 3rd. Cody Smart followed with a RBI single. That's all the scoring so far. Top 6 2-0 Winnisquam. Jordan Cote is in to try and close out the game.

Any news from Portsmouth or Lebanon?

I mean...Gill Stadium.

Bedford beat Lebanon 6-1 behind 7 solid innings from Lucas Olen. Capitalized on a couple huge throwing errors to expand their 3-1 lead in the 7th. Jake Woodward also pitched well for Lebanon but ended up being the tough luck loser of this match-up.

Portsmouth and Con-Val scheduled to start in about 15 minutes.

Is someone at Gill tonight to provide updates?

Portsmouth up 2-0 top 3. Keegan Taylor v Pat Tempone. Portsmouth had a chance to open it up, but left the bases loaded in the bottom of the second.

Portsmout did not waste their opportunity in the 3rd. Scored 4 runs on 3 hits, two walks and an error. 6-0 top 4. Big hit was a two run triple by Matt Feeney.

Portsmouth is up 7-0, middle 5. Taylor pitching well for Portsmouth.

Portsmouth wins 8-2, complete game for Keegan Taylor. He pitched very well. Tempone battled hard throughout and also went the distance. Strong effort for Portsmouth.

Good work, Vandelay!

Thanks Will O. Tough to post in the dark, on a small blackberry, with fat fingers. I'm surprised my posts made any sense at all.

Somerworth came away with a win tonight. Great game, Somerworth took the lead 1-0, Fall Mountain put up a three spot in the 4th to lead 3-1. Somersworth came right back in the bottom of the inning to tie it up at 3-3. Parma came on in relief, and shut down Fall Mountain. Somersworth scored 2 in the bottom of the 6th to win 5-3. Very well played ball game by both teams.

Congrats Coach. Looking forward to the game on Saturday.
