Vacation week is winding down, but there were still plenty of noteworthy performances Thursday, including a 21-strikeout outing, multiple walk-off wins, a 200th goal and more.
Before we dive into it all, check out all of Thursday’s results: Scoreboard | Baseball | Softball | Boys’ lacrosse | Girls’ lacrosse | Boys’ volleyball | Girls’ tennis | Boys’ tennis
1. Walk-off wins
Junior Sophia Cappiello lofted a walk-off sacrifice fly that scored Kayleigh Martin and gave Tewksbury a 7-6, 11-inning win over Chelmsford. Scituate junior Matt Monahan provided a walk-off single to beat Martha’s Vineyard, 2-1, in the JL Murphy Tournament.
On the lacrosse field, Emily Berube provided the overtime winner for Bishop Feehan, battling crosstown rival Attleboro to a 10-9 victory.
Technically there was still a second left on the clock, but Marshfield essentially walked off Westwood, 7-6, on Brody Jordan’s goal with one second remaining. That followed Nate Cochran’s equalizer with under a minute remaining, both of which came off Charlie Carroll assists that followed Sam O’Brien faceoff wins.
2. Milestones
Joselyn Silva became Beverly’s all-time leading girls’ lacrosse scorer by notching her 196th career goal in a 13-3 win over Masconomet. The senior captain scored four times with two assists three days after teammate Madeline Reynolds, a junior, set the school’s career saves record with 436 in a 13-12 double-overtime win over Swampscott.
North Andover’s Isa Robinson enjoyed a six-goal day in a 16-4 win over Natick, pushing her past 200 goals for her career.
Medfield’s Izzy Kittredge and Greater Lowell’s Emma Finch both recorded their 100th goal. Kittredge scored four goals in a 17-7 win over Algonquin and is just 6 points away from 200, while Finch scored seven times in a 13-4 win over Monty Tech.
HUGE congrats to Jr Izzy Kittredge on scoring her 100th goal in today’s game! Way to go Izzy!! @MedfieldAD pic.twitter.com/X8ywzK6v0l
