THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, April 19, 2019 Page 7 Grand Opening! Magnolia Dental Tide baseball wins home opener over conference rival Revere By Joe Mitchell T he Everett High School baseball team (1-1), coached by Joe Lento, had to wait around like everybody else before they could begin playing the real games. Scrimmages and practices can be pretty tiresome, as the teams get ready for the regular season. With the new delayed start to the season that was implemented last year by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) to avoid postponements because of snow-covered fi elds, the Crimson Tide still had to wait a few extra days as a result of rainy days. But last week, it was time to play ball against host Winchester. The Sachems topped the local nine, 5-2, but the Everett boys bounced right back to beat Revere in the home opener at Glendale Park, 16-2, on April 16. Everett pitcher Evan Mallard went 5.1-innings against Winchester, and he gave up six walks and fi ve runs, while whiffi ng nine. Jonathan Fitzgerald and Brandon Gibbs accounted for the Everett offense with run-producing singles. “This was a good opening day game,” said Lento afterwards. “But we gave a good Winchester team too many free chances, and it ended up costing us in the long run.” But it was an entirely diff erent story several days later in the home opener versus Revere on Patriots Day. Mallard was on the mound again, and he pitched five innings, but this time he picked up the win. Michael Sullivan threw the fi nal two in relief to seal the deal. It was a total team eff ort on offense. From one through nine, the Tide hitters effectively sprayed the ball safely all over the fi eld. Alex Brown executed a suicide squeeze perfectly to score Fitzgerald to help ignite the all-out attack in the home half of the fourth inning that also included a tworun double by Jared Corbett. The Tide took on the always formidable Lynn Classical Rams in Lynn on April 17 (after press deadline), before getting ready for a game at Somerville’s Trum Field against the Highlanders on Monday, April 22, starting at 4 p.m. PREMIER CHECKING 1.25 on balances up to $25,000 Mobile Banking, People Pay and Check Deposit Online Banking, Bill Pay and e-Statements 800.657.3272 EBSB.com *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) as of 3/21/19.
