Spartans Trounce Trinity Catholic 16-4
Savio rebounded from a disheartened loss to East Boston
by trouncing Trinity Catholic 16-4. Peter Flaherty upped
his record to 3-1 with a complete game effort. Mike
McCarthy, Robert Lerro, Dennis Buckley and Joe Valarese
powered the attack with two hits apiece. The win kept
Savio tied for the lead in the Central Catholic DII
league. They play Trinity again today and a win will
clinch a tie for the league championship.
Spartans Lose To Eastie 17-7
Savio has suffered two heartbreaking losses this season,
but the East Boston handed Savio its third loss of the
season and in could only be described as frustrating.
The team started off strong scoring three in the first
and added two in the third to take a 5-3 lead. But, from
then on, the game belong to East Boston. The jets
capitalized on every Spartans mistake, miscue and
ineffective at bats to blast Savio 17-7. The game was
marred with unusual quirks and blunders. The Spartans
never took advantage of men on base stranding a at least
a dozen. They failed to tag up or advance on Jet errors
several times costing them runs. And, they and the
umpires committed key errors that lead to two inside the
park homeruns from Eastie players. these all
accounted for the winning margin. Who could imagine the
team with five triples would only score six runs. That's
one dubious distinction the Spartans accomplished when
Robert Baglie(2), Dennis Buckley, Joe Valarese and peter
Flaherty each blasted fastballs top the outer limits of
Noyes Park. In fact, Flaherty led off the sixth inning
but was stranded as the next three Spartans failed to
get him home. On the lone positive no,, the loss did not
hurt the Spartans chances of claiming a share of the
league title.
