FROM PAGE 15 T ith the new delayed start to the season that was implemented last year by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) to avoid any baseball and softball postponements because of snow-covered fields, teams still a few extra days off as a result of rainy days. But finally last week, it was time to play ball. Naturally, in the early going, the play on the field would be something less than satisfactory for the coaches of the respective teams in these games, but if they can somehow find a way to scratch out a win or two they’ll take it until the rustiness wears off as a result of not playing real regular season games for quite a while. For coaches like Joe Ciccarello, the Revere High School softball top boss, they recognize that there will be some erratic play, but if a win or two comes they will shed few complaints until they know their athletes are adjusting to a new season. ots opened up the 2019 campaign last week against nonleague host Chelmsford, and the visitors were able to still come home with a 6-5 triumph. “It was a bit sloppy early on defensively, but we still jumped on them for three runs in the first,” said Ciccarello. Adrianna Fusco and Eve Lescovitz were able to get on base for Alexis Iacoviello and Olivia McManus, who drove them home with clutch hits. Danielle Dion then knocked in Iacoviello with another hit to account for the third tally. McManus was in the circle in this game, and she pitched well, according to Ciccarello. The Revere hurler had seven strikeouts while allowing five hits and three earned runs. The Patriots had a 5-4 lead late in the game before Adrianna Keefe produced the allimportant insurance run that scored Lynzie Anderson, who was running for McManus at the time. As fate would have it, the Lions did score another run in the home half of the seventh, but because of Keefe’s clutch swing the Pats were able to hold on for the victory. But Tuesday’s home opener versus Everett at St. Mary’s Field did not go as well on the scoreboard. “We came into the game thinking we can win just by showing up, but Everett dropped six runs on us in the top of the first, and we never recovered from it,” said Ciccarello. “Sloppy defense and a lack of focus combined with no intensity was a bad recipe against a hungry Everett team.” The Crimson Tide ended up beating the home team by a score of 8-3. The Patriots took on host Salem on April 17 (after press deadline), before non-league Austin Prep comes to St. Mary’s Field on Saturday for a noon game. They will be at Lynn Classical on Monday and Medford on Wednesday before they come home again to face the Somerville Highlanders on April 26. All three games will start at 4 p.m. Baseball Pats even after four games By Joe Mitchell he Revere High School baseball team, which is coached by Mike Manning, has begun the season, and after four games they are exactly at the .500 mark with a 2-2 record. The Patriots opened things up with a 9-3 victory over nonleague East Boston on April 6. It was more of the same against Greater Lawrence last Thursday, April 11, and that resulted in a 9-1 triumph. But the beginning of the Northeastern Conference schedule didn’t go as well. Everett pinned a 16-2 loss on them Tuesday morning before Salem took them down, 9-5, on April 17. The Pats hoped to bounce back into the win column against host Beverly on April 18 (after press deadline) before returning to the friendly confines of Merullo Field on Monday afternoon versus Lynn Classical, starting at 4 p.m. Advertise in four free local newspapers and online!
