Beverly’s Anthony DiOrio slides safely into second base ahead of a tag from Belmont’s Danny Donahue during a 3-0 Panthers victory in a first round Division 2 North state tournament game.

On Baseball: With clean play and solid pitching, Beverly has arrived

BEVERLY — There isn't a lot of flash on the Beverly High baseball team.
The Panthers are simply one of the most fundamentally sound ballclubs in the area — and that attention to detail could have them playing well into the month of June.

Explosive sixth inning moves Falcons past Tewksbury in first round

DANVERS— The Danvers High softball team began yesterday's Division 2 North first round state tournament game the same what it started the regular season — slow but steady.
The young Falcons fell behind early against Tewksbury, but after their nerves and butterflies settled down they pulled out a decisive 9-3 victory.

Hovey does it with his bat and his arm in leading Danvers past Woburn

DANVERS — It took Scott Hovey 102 pitches to finish off the Woburn High baseball team last night.
His catcher, Joe Strangie, could have told you that would happen before the game even started.
"From the first pitch he threw in the bullpen to warm up, he was on. Honestly, I don't think he missed where I put my glove one time," said Strangie, who was on the receiving end of Hovey's three-hitter last night as Danvers dispatched the visiting Tanners, 4-1, in a Division 2 North first round state tournament game at Twi-Field.

Thursday's area roundup: Swampscott baseball rallies to beat Austin Prep in extra innings

BASEBALL
Swampscott 7, Austin Prep 6: Senior Nick Meninno scored from second base on an errant throw by Ausitn Prep pitcher Tyler Finnegan as the Big Blue (15-6) came from behind to advance in Division 3 North and avenge last year's first round loss to the Cougars. Meninno, who got the last four outs pitching to win, led off the eighth with a single, moved to second on a bunt and scored when he broke for third and the throw to second went into the outfield. Austin Prep (11-10) led 4-0 in the second and led 6-4 in the fifth but Swampscott battled back to force extra innings. "Nick got a good read, he was taking the bag and we capitalized on a miscue," said Big Blue coach T.J. Baril. "We chipped away today; we're a senior laden team and those are the kinds of guys you expect to battle back from adversity. They put it out of their minds, played for each other and got the win." Senior Frank Legere had a pair of RBI singles, senior Mike Walsh hit a solo homer and had an RBI single and Justin Perry also drove in a run for Swampscott. Trevor Massey's sacrifice fly scored Bob Serino to keep the Big Blue alive in the bottom of the seventh. Senior Sean O'Brien had a hit and threw 6 2/3 solid innings to keep the Big Blue in it. "OB got us deep into the game and Meninno did a great job closing the door," said Baril.

Ipswich rolls over Tewksbury

IPSWICH — The Ipswich girls lacrosse team's attack runs through Natalie Soliozy, and when the junior midfielder has six assists (and one goal) in a game it's a good bet that the Tigers are winning comfortably.
