It wasn’t a good day to be a school record, as several fell during Tuesday’s action. We also catch up with tons of college and coaching news from over the weekend, plus a few significant milestones from Monday.

Before we dive in, take a moment to peruse all the scores and recaps: Scoreboard | Baseball | Softball | Boys’ lacrosse | Girls’ lacrosse | Boys’ volleyball | Girls’ tennis | Boys’ tennis

1. Milestones and moments

Methuen senior captain Kiera Fitzpatrick blew past the school’s goals record, scoring five (with two assists) to reach 219 in a 21-4 win over Haverhill. The previous mark was 215.

Framingham senior Adam Kornbau broke his school’s single-game goals record with 11 in a 27-6 win over Braintree.

Senior Kareem Chaplin II won the 100-meter dash for Canton, setting a school record in 10.7 seconds during an 85-51 loss to Oliver Ames.

Also on Tuesday, Wakefield junior Kathryn Sliski pitched a no-hitter, and Medfield junior Izzy Kittredge notched her 200th career point while tallying 9 of them (5 goals, 4 assists) in a 20-5 win over Norton.

On Monday, Triton senior Emma Penniman collected her 600th strikeout, while Dighton-Rehoboth’s Camryn Cloonan and Old Colony’s Kayleigh deSousa both notched their 100th hits. On Saturday, North Andover senior Isa Robinson recorded her 200th goal.

2. Walk-off wins

In a premier boys’ lacrosse matchup pitting No. 1 St. John’s Prep against No. 2 BC High, Josh Barton netted the overtime winner for a 7-6 victory after Will Crawford won the opening draw of the extra frame.

Senior midfielder Jack Cooper’s third goal was the overtime winner for Andover in an 11-10 win over North Andover, while Sandwich’s Matthew Taylor laced a walk-off RBI single to beat Cohasset, 7-6.

3. Going, going, gone

It was a mostly quiet day on the diamonds with a few exceptions, most notably Minuteman’s Paige King, who blasted a first-inning grand slam to set the tone in a 15-3 win over Nashoba Valley Tech.

For the second straight game, Chelmsford’s Zoey Moscato homered, this one in an 8-6 win over Lexington, which got a three-run shot from Sophie Glavine.

Starting pitcher Riley Chaplin homered for Notre Dame Academy (Hingham) in a 19-3 win over Dennis-Yarmouth, and Riley Egan blasted one for East Bridgewater in a softball loss to Abington.

Charlestown’s Reagan O’Brien, a Boston Latin graduate, was named the Big Ten women’s lacrosse Defender of the Year. O’Brien, a junior at Johns Hopkins, was previously named First Team All-Big Ten and to the Big Ten All-Tournament team.

O’Brien led the nation with 85 caused turnovers, averaging 4.72 per game; she broke the NCAA single-season record of 82 during the Big Ten semifinals, and is the Johns Hopkins career leader with 148 in 54 games. She tallied career highs in ground balls (52), assists (4), and draw controls (10).

A few notes from over the weekend: Nauset senior Logan Poulin, who recently decommitted from playing men’s lacrosse at Vermont, signed a tender with the Northeast Generals, a Tier II NAHL junior hockey team based out of Canton. Poulin led Nauset to a Division 3 state championship in March, finishing the season with 53 goals and 32 assists for 87 points in 25 games.

Brockton graduate Cameron Monteiro announced he will transfer to Akron after one season as a wide receiver at Pitt. The 6-foot-1-inch, 180-pound Monteiro appeared in just two games and recorded no statistics, retaining a year of eligibility.

New Bedford graduate Shahid Barros announced his transfer from South Dakota to Iowa. The 6-foot-1-inch, 195-pound senior safety spent four years with the Jackrabbits, playing in 36 games and finishing with 101 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, and 12 passes deflected.

Xaverian graduate Cole Canty, of Dover, announced he is entering the transfer portal with three years of eligibility remaining after two seasons at Sacred Heart. The 6-foot-4-inch, 300-pound right tackle started five games and played in 11 for the Pioneers last year.

▪ On the heels of leading Georgetown to its first boys’ basketball state title, Josh Kielty will make the move to St. Mary’s in Lynn.

In eight years at Georgetown, Keilty compiled a 100-61 record. He replaces David Brown, who resigned earlier this month after 13 seasons and two state championships with the Spartans.

Keilty, a Georgetown High and Salem State graduate, also has experience as an assistant at St. John’s Prep and as the athletic director of the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence.

“I couldn’t be more excited,” said Keilty, who teaches at Lynn Classical and lives in Lynnfield with his wife, Adriana, and their three young children. “I’m honored and humbled. I wasn’t looking for jobs, but this opportunity at St. Mary’s was too good to pass up. I have so much respect for the program and the school.”

▪ After 12 years as an assistant with the program, former Boston University defender/winger Dan McGoff was promoted to head boys’ hockey coach at Nobles.

Originally from Winchester, McGoff is a 2004 Nobles alumni who played four years at BU before bouncing around the ECHL, CHL, and international leagues.

▪ Mark Leonard has stepped down as the boys’ hockey coach at Essex Tech after six seasons. His son, Brady Leonard, will attend Albany Academy for a post-grad year and he wanted more time to watch him play.

Leonard, a MSHCA Hall of Famer, is the wins leader at both Essex Tech (84) and Peabody, and has 312 career wins.

▪ Bob Marinelli, who coached St. John’s Prep boys’ hockey for 12 years and was a football official, has died. Marinelli was the program’s head coach from 1995-2007, but stayed around as a volunteer and officially retired last season after 42 years.

Marcus Semien's 250th career homer highlights Rangers' victory over AL West

HOUSTON — Marcus Semien hit his 250th career home run and Adolis García also went deep to back up a strong start by Nathan Eovaldi and give the Texas Rangers a 5-1, series-clinching victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Eovaldi (7-3) limited Houston to five hits and a run with eight strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings for his third straight win.

Be the smartest Rangers fan. Get the latest news.

Houston starter Hunter Brown (9-4) allowed five hits and four runs while striking out eight in five innings as the AL West leaders lost for the fifth time in six games. It was the second straight tough outing for the All-Star, who gave up a season-high six runs in his last start against Cleveland.

Wyatt Langford walked to open the second and the Rangers made it 1-0 when he scored on a triple by Evan Carter. There were two outs in the inning when Carter scored on a ground-rule double by Ezequiel Duran to push the lead to 2-0.

García’s third homer in the last four games put Texas ahead 3-0 with two outs in the third inning.

Carter doubled to start the fourth and Kyle Higashioka singled before Carter scored on a sacrifice fly by Alejandro Osuna to make it 4-0.

The Astros cut it to 4-1 on a home run by Zack Short with no outs in the sixth inning.

Semien’s shot with one out in the eighth inning was his second of the series and gave him 250 in his 13-year career.

Key moment

Texas jumping on Brown for two runs in the second inning to take the lead for good.

Key stat

García’s 20 home runs against the Astros since 2021 are the most of any player in that span.

Women’s Play of the Year Nominees

Jazmen Newberry’s Comeback — Track & Field

  • Thanks to a rain delay, it was a late night for the 4x400m relay team at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships, with the race not even getting started until near midnight Eastern time. Entering the anchor leg, Jazmen Newberry sat a distant third behind TCU’s Bryce Brazzell (1.83 seconds) and Arizona’s Antonia Sanchez Nunez (1.32 seconds). While the commentators were focused on the Wildcat tracking down the Horned Frog, the Knight turned on the afterburners. The UAlbany transfer crossed the finish line 0.26 seconds ahead of Sanchez Nunez to win the heat and got UCF their second Big 12 Outdoor gold medal after beating out the previous heat winner Iowa State’s time by 0.21 seconds.

Olivia Lincer’s Deuce Point — Women’s Tennis

  • Olivia Lincer had already fought off three match points to reach this deuce point with Oklahoma State’s Melissa Ercan in the Big 12 Tournament Semifinals (6:55 in the video above). If Ercan gets the ball by her, or she makes a mistake, it’s over for UCF, who is tied 3-3 with the Cowgirls. When Ercan sends a shot straight down her right sideline, Lincer sprints over and executes a one-handed backhand shot to keep the rally alive. The Cowgirl could not respond, hitting the ball into the net and sending the Knights to the Big 12 Championship Match.

Ashleigh Griffin’s Go-Ahead Homer vs. Stetson — Softball

  • The UCF Softball team was already having a historic power-hitting night in DeLand, with their seven home runs to that point helping close an 11-run deficit to Stetson to just two by the seventh inning. With two runners on base and down to her last strike, all Ashleigh Griffin needed was one swing of the bat to complete the largest comeback in program history (4:15 in the video above).

Madi Simon’s Home Run Robbery — Softball

  • It was a standout moment in a statement series for UCF Softball against #4 Arizona Wildcats. Both teams were tied up, 3-3, in the fourth inning of Game 2, a game the Knights would ultimately take, 5-4, to clinch the series. That only makes this center-field home-run robbery by Madi Simon all the more impactful.

First 4+ Boat’s Comeback — Rowing

  • Halfway through its C Final race at the NCAA Rowing Championships, the UCF Rowing team’s First 4+ boat sat 2.84 seconds, or around half a boat length, back of Virginia Cavaliers. Over the next 1,000 meters, the Knights tracked down and passed the Cavaliers, taking the win by 1.276 seconds and becoming the only one of head coach Mara Allen’s three boats to claim victory in their C Final.
