Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 24, 2022 BASEBALL | FROM PAGE 11 Malden High’s McMahon fires two strong innings, sparking team to win in Junior Select State All-Star Game Malden High junior Brandon McMahon has his State All-Star routine down pat these days. Maybe pitching in his hometown has something to do with it. McMahon took the mound in the fifth inning of Saturday’s 11th MBCA Junior Select State All-Star Game with his team (Team I-93) clinging to a 3-2 lead. The lanky, 6-2 righthander proceeded to dominate in the 5th and 6th innings, throwing a pair of solid frames, allowing just one hit, walking one and striking out four over the two innings. As he held the fort for his team, the I-93 squad would add two big offensive innings on its way to a 12-5 win over Malden High sophomore Jake Simpson takes a solid swing Monday.

It was really cool to be a part of it added two hits, two runs and a stolen base. Chelmsford’s Braydon Gray started off the contest with three no-hit innings, including six strikeouts and a walk. That was more than enough to earn him Most Valuable Pitcher for Team I-93. “It was awesome,” Gray said about being a part of the All-Star squad. “It was a good opportunity. I feel blessed to be here. It was a great season and a great way to end the high school season.” MBCA ALL-STAR NOTEBOOK: A sixth Malden resident, Bishop Fenwick junior infielder Costa Beechin, was also on the roster for the I-93 Team, but was unable to participate on Monday, since he was on the road playing in another tournament...

Two of the most impressive players of the entire day did not even get a win for their team: Braintree’s 6-4 Jack Fitzgerald hit a mighty blast for an inside-the-park home run for team I-95 with two aboard; Team I-95 righthander Ryan Maiorano touched 87 MPH on the radar gun in needing just 12 pitches to strike out the side for Team I-95. The two players were named the Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Pitcher, respectively, for Team I-95.... Team I-93’s Jake Harring, a junior from Amesbury High, was the only player for either game to have three hits, going threefor-four with a run scored.

Last year in the 2021 MBCA Sophomore Select State All-Star Game, the righty was equally dominant, picking up the pitching win and the Most Valuable Pitcher Award with two shutout innings. “It’s a really good opportunity, especially being in my hometown,” said McMahon, who was this past spring, played in his first-ever State All-Star Game Monday. He showed well on Monday, drawing a walk, stealing second and eventually scoring a run for I-93 on a passed ball. “It was a great experience, playing in a game of this level with such excellent players,” said Popp. “I was very happy to get this opportunity.” A pair of big numbers in the third and fourth innings led and gave the kids an opportunity to go out and show what they can do.” In the third inning, Team I-93 sent eight runners to plate and scored five times, including a two-run single from Most Valuable Player Ian Laforest of Waltham. Laforest finished the day two-for-four, driving in three runs and scoring twice, with his other hit coming in a two-run fifth, along with two stolen bases.
