Sr Babe Sweeps First Round Playoff Series

The Southie Sr Babe squad kicked off the first round of the playoffs on Monday, July 24th against Braintree down at Joe Moakley Park.

Jerry O’Neil got the ball for game one and would need only 40 pitches to cruise through the first 5 innings allowing just one hit and adding 6 strikeouts.

The Southie offense and a sloppy Brainteee defense took over from there as runs were put up early and often that would have the locals up 10-0 after 4 innings. Southie would hold Braintree scoreless in the 5th inning and were able to walk off winners in a mercy rule shortened game. Joey Macomber, Stephen Flynn, and Geno Juliano all had multi hit games. Joe Greene, Tristin Pecevich, Jerry O’Neil, and Ryan McGarrell all added one hit apiece.

After a couple field changes and an extra days wait due to severe flooding, South Boston traveled to Watson Park in Braintree for game two on Wednesday July 26th.

Geno Juliano got the start on the mound in this one and pitched well over the course of 5 innings scattering 5 hits and striking out 3.

Southie took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Stephen Flynn singled in Joey Macomber with the games first run. Juliano would make it 2-0 after 2 when he scored on a wild pitch. Tristin Pecevich slugged a 2-run inside the park home run in the 3rd inning that put Southie up 4-1 after 3. A five run 5th inning highlighted by RBI hits from O’Neil and Pecevich helped Southie blow the game wide open. Final score in this one was 10-2. Flynn, Pecevich and O’Neil would all have multi-hit games and lead off man Macomber added a single and 3 runs scored. Next up for the Southie boys will be a semi-final round matchup with Dorchester. Games are still TBD until the WollastonBrockton series is complete.
