Baseball Pats bats go quiet on offense in recent losses By Greg Phipps A fter a huge win at Lynn Classical last week, the Revere High School baseball team was unable to carry the momentum of that victory into their next two games. The Patriots were edged in a 2-0 nonleague loss to Cambridge Rindge & Latin last Saturday at home and dropped a 6-1 decision at Lynn English in a Greater Boston League (GBL) tilt on Monday. Revere mustered just two hits in the loss to Cambridge. Patriots starting pitcher Chris Cassidy probably deserved a better fate, as he hurled six strong innings and didn’t allow an earned run. Cassidy surrendered four hits and walked four while striking out fi ve. Freshman reliever Brendan Sack fared well in his one inning of work by giving up no hits and fanning a batter. Both Revere hits came in the bottom of the second inning when Domenic Boudreau and Sal DeAngelis both singled. Revere shortstop Mike Popp reached down too late to tag out a Cambridge base runner during this steal of second base last Saturday. But the Patriots failed to score and Cambridge pitching pretty much kept them quiet the rest of the way. Boudreau was the lone Patriot Revere’s Sal DeAngelis followed through on this second inning base hit last Saturday against Cambridge. Revere pitcher Chris Cassidy put forth a strong outing in a losing cause against Cambridge last Saturday. Through six innings, he allowed no earned runs, gave up just four hits and fanned fi ve hitters. to sparkle off ensively in the loss at English. He swatted two hits and drove in Revere’s lone tally.
