Southie Sr Babe Opens Up The 2023 Season

The South Boston Sr Babe Ruth team kicked off the 2023 campaign with a home game against Wollaston at Moakley Park on Monday June 12th.

After graduating several core players from last years squad and adding 11 new faces to this years roster, a young but very talented team has come charging out of the gate.

After a strong spring season for South Boston High, Rookie Geno Juliano took to the mound for Southie against Wollaston. Geno went the distance on the mound pitching all 7 innings while working out of a few early inning jams to scatter 7 hits and adding 4 strikeouts on the night.

Wollaston jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, the Southie offense answered right back with a tworun home run by Joe Greene followed by a solo home run by Jerry O’Neil to make it a 3-2 game. Wollaston was able to tie the game 3-3 in the top of the 2nd inning but Southie would take advantage of a combination of wild pitching and fielding errors by Wollaston to push across 7 runs in the bottom half of the inning to take a commanding 10-3 lead that would not be relinquished. Additional runs in the 4th and 5th innings would give Southie a 13-4 opening night victory. Ryan McGarrell, Tommy Flaherty, and Joey Macomber all had a multi-hit game while Ryan Alexander added a single.

South Boston took to the road the following night for a game under the lights at Balch Field in Norwood.

Southie ace Jerry O’Neil took the mound and with only 2 earned runs and 6 strikeouts on the night, one would think that this would be enough to earn him his first win of the season. However, with 4 fielding errors and an anemic offensive output, Norwood was able to take advantage to claim a 6-1 victory.

Joe Greene, Ben Fennelly, Tommy Flaherty, and Geno Juliano all had hits for South Boston.

Game 3 saw a Brockton squad that shockingly knocked South Boston out of the first round of last years playoffs coming to town on June 19th.

Jerry O’Neil (1-1) was back on the mound and took matters into his own hands as he dominated on the night tossing a 1-hitter with 11 strikeouts over 7 innings of work.

The offense broke through in the bottom of the 3rd inning as newcomer Ronan Carlson was able to score on a throwing error by Brockton which was followed by a triple by Joe Greene that would plate Ryan McGarrell to give the good guys a 2-0 lead that would end up being the final score in this one. Tommy Flaherty also added a hit.

Next up was a rivalry game at

Moakley Park against Dorchester on June 20th. Dorchester was opening up their season but showed no signs of rust early and they jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the 1st. Southie would cut the lead to 2-1 in the bottom of the inning before adding 4 runs in the 2nd inning to take a 5-3 lead. The teams would trade runs in the 3 inning before South Boston added 2 more runs in the 4th inning to give Southie the 8-3 win.

Geno Juliano (2-0) got the complete game victory on the mound while adding 8 K’s. Leadoff hitter Joey Macomber paced the offense going 4 for 4 on the night with Joe Greene (2 hits) and Ryan McGarrell also chipping in.

Gridiron Grit!

A little rain -- and a lot of mud -- didn’t deter the players during the 6th annual Kickoff for Kids women’s flag football tournament Saturday. Money raised from this tournament benefits South Boston kids. The nonprofit Kickoff for Kids was started by South Boston’s own Allison Baker.
