From P. A9 half of the sixth, however, the Peabody bats woke up to regain the lead for good with seven runs.
Abby Bettencourt, arguably the NEC MVP, got the win.
“There was a lot to learn and grow from in this game,” added Gold. “We had the bases loaded twice but couldn’t score any runs. Something we need to work on is to get the ball in play and bring home runs in those situations, but at the same time we need to get a handle on both mental and physical mistakes. But I was still proud of the way we competed against Peabody, and this game was definitely a turning point for us.”
Against Swampscott, the Magicians pounded the ball all game long, with Calienes and Bumagin, both juniors, going a perfect three-for-three. Bornhorst had three hits in four at-bats. Freshmen Hailey Schmitt and Isabel and Ashley Mortensen continued to hit the ball well, according to Gold.
Junior Sophia Hassley and senior Anna Bobowski came off the bench and contributed one hit apiece to the winning cause. Andriano, another freshman, hit the ball hard, but came up empty.
“(Andriano) has also been doing an outstanding job at third base,” said Gold. “She has a good glove and strong arm to quickly turn would-be hits into outs.” learn more, email chabote@ northshoreymca.org or visit northshoreymca.org/programs/ lynchvan-otterloo-ymca-camps
