THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 2021 Page 15 Patriot baseball team earns high seed to open playoffs By Greg Phipps T he Revere High School baseball team concluded the regular season with a convincing 12-2 victory over Mystic Valley Regional Charter School early this week. The win left the Patriots at 6-3 for the regular season. They earned a pretty high No. 7 seeding in the Div. 1 North tournament. Revere will host a fi rst-round game against either 10th-seeded Lexington or 23rd-seeded Newton South on Tuesday. It is likely the Patriots will meet 8-5 Lexington, as low-seed Newton South sports a 3-13 mark entering the postseason. In Tuesday's win over Mystic Valley, sophomore Mike Popp continued his off ensive prowess by clocking two hits and driving in four runs. Fellow sophomore Chris Cassidy poked four hits and fi nished with three RBI. He also scored four times. Kasey Cummings contributed a solo homer to add to the attack. The pitching of Dom Boudreau was also solid, as he combined with Pat Keefe on a fourhitter. The tandem also teamed up to fan eight Mystic Valley hitters.

Among the players Revere will be counting on are stellar senior pitcher Adrianna Fusco and hitters Julianna Raff a. Elianna Monge, Lynzie Anderson, Gianna Uminski, Nina Cassinello and Adrianna Keefe. If Everett wins its preliminary contest, it will make for an interesting and exciting fi rst-round clash between the neighboring schools. No matter what, the Patriots face some stiff competition in the tourney with undefeated Woburn and Peabody holding the two top spots, and third-seeded Westford Academy with 14 wins. Also, fi fth and sixth seeds Lowell and Newton North both sport 13-2 records entering the postseason. Therefore, any advancement by Revere will be well earned.
