The unranked Norwood High Mustangs (13-5) took down the state's top baseball team Wednesday night in decisive fashion.

Senior Sean O'Neil pitched a complete game in a 4-0 win against visiting Walpole, for his third victory of the season.

O'Neil was aided by the defense of center fielder Peter Kelly, who made two spectacular diving catches.

The only other loss for Walpole, which has the Bay State League wrapped up at 17-2, was a 4-3 defeat at the hands of Brookline (12-8).
