Tide baseball team turns in solid effort against Beverly before getting shut down by Revere By Joe Mitchell T he Everett Crimson Tide baseball team (3-4 overall) took care of business against Beverly, 3-1. But then they got shut down by the Revere Patriots on the road Wednesday afternoon, 5-0. Evan Mallard recorded the win on the mound with a complete game, seven-inning eff ort. Mallard gave up just two hits, three walks and one earned run. He whiff ed a remarkable total of 12 batters in, once again, seven innings. The Everett boys scored all of their runs in the third inning. Senior captain Jonathan Fitzgerald singled in Brandon Gibbs. His classmate Greg Reed then came through with a clutch two-out, two-run double that scored D.J. Warren and Fitzgerald. Third baseman D.J. Warren, second baseman Reimond Romero and shortstop Alex Brown were the defensive stars of the game, according to Coach Joe Lento. “This was a good team win,” Lento added, “and it just shows what this team is capable of when they execute.” But longtime rival Revere humbled them, and they await the second half of the regular season. Jared Corbett started the game on the hill versus the Pats, and battled through four and two-thirds innings, surrendering four runs. Corbett was also responsible for his team’s lone hit. “This was a disappointing loss after a big win against Beverly,” said Lento. “We need to exhibit more consistency to get more wins on the varsity level.” There’s still a whole lot of baseball left for the Crimson Tide. They are still three games away from the start of the second half of the regular season. They fi rst went up against visiting Lynn Classical on May 9 (after press deadline). Somerville then comes to town on Monday, May 13, starting at 4 p.m. They will be at Peabody on Tuesday to go up against the Tanners at the same time. They will remain on the road to close out the week against Lynn English on May 16 and Salem on May 17.
