Lincoln-Sudbury senior Derek Lowe made a verbal commitment to The College of William and Mary’s baseball program last Wednesday, choosing the Tribe over University of Connecticut, Northeastern University, and Bryant University.

Lowe, a righthanded pitcher who also plays some outfield, says the campus was one of the bigger factors in his decision.

“I really liked the campus,” he said. “Northeastern is in the city, so it’s obviously a little different. I really liked UConn, but they ran out of scholarship money, so they couldn’t offer me any.”

He also has a good relationship with coach Frank Leoni, who took over in the summer of 2005, after 13 successful years at the University of Rhode Island that saw him win two Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year titles and take the Rams to their first NCAA Tournament appearance. Last season, they went 36-21.

“He’s a great guy with big goals for the program,” Lowe said. “Since he got there, they’ve had a lot of success.”

Lowe says he will have a half-scholarship as a member of the Tribe.

NCAA rules prohibit coaches from commenting on players until they have signed a national letter of intent.

This past spring, Lowe missed the bulk of the high school baseball season with an injury to his throwing elbow. He had nerve relocation surgery on March 3, and missed all but the final five games of the Warriors’ season.

During this summer, though, he made a significant splash on the AAU scene playing for the New England Ruffnecks, coached by L-S head coach Kirk Fredericks. Fredericks estimated that Lowe hit “between .410 and .415” with wooden bats for the summer, “by far” the team high “average-wise.”

“I would say out of all the players, you could argue that he was our elite player,” Fredericks said. “The one guy that everyone came to see was him, and (Boston English catcher/third baseman) Nelfi Zapata.”

His fastball typically clocks at around 84 to 85 miles per hour, and he has a hard slider to compliment. Lowe also shows great range as an outfielder.

“One thing that opened my eyes, and additionally to the groups of people watching him, was his ability to play the outfield,” Fredericks said. “There are five or six catches that I’m having a flashback on now, where he was making diving catches like Jacoby Ellsbury or Jim Edmonds.”

Weston High pitcher Sahil Bloom has verbally committed to Stanford University, he said Thursday night.

Bloom chose the Cardinal – which has been to six College World Series in the last ten seasons – over Duke, Boston College, Vanderbilt and North Carolina. He had considered the school his top choice, and said the school had expressed a significant amount of interest since last February.

“When I visited Stanford in the middle of February, I fell in love with it. The campus is gorgeous,” he said via cell phone.

Bloom has emerged as one of the state’s top pitching prospects over the last 12 months. The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder is capable of throwing five pitches for strikes, and has a fastball that was clocked as high as 91 miles per hour earlier this season.

He finished with a 3-5 record, but struck out more than 75 batters in just 57 innings of work. The Wildcats went 13-9, bowing out in the second round of the Division 3 North sectionals this spring.

This summer, Bloom played for the New England Ruff Necks AAU team, and found some success against national competition at several showcases. Head coach Kirk Fredericks, also the head baseball coach at Lincoln-Sudbury, said Bloom’s fastball typically hit in the range of 86 to 88 miles per hour.

“As far as summer goes, he really pitched well for us,” Fredericks said. “More importantly, he learned how to become a pitcher at that (high)level.”

Bloom said he’s also been contacted by major league scouts. There is a possibility of him being selected in next spring’s amateur draft.

“If he continues to work hard, we could hear more from him down the road,” said one National League scout. “I wish him nothing but the best.”

After taking a 10-2 lead through five innings, Lowell Post 87 nearly lost it, needing 11 innings to pull out a 13-12 walk-off win over Milford, in American Legion State Tournament action yesterday at Chicopee's Szot Park.

With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the 11th, Chris Smart drilled a liner to centerfield, scoring Kevin O'Neil for a walk-off single.

In three innings of relief, Lowell's Zach Roy struck out seven batters, including the final four he faced.

Lowell will now face Weymouth at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. Milford will face East Longmeadow at 9:30 a.m.

In earlier action, Weymouth took down East Longmeadow, 5-3, in the morning game. In the game preceding Milford-Lowell, Hanover prevailed 6-1 over Newburyport.

Currently, Walpole is playing Chicopee in the nightcap, but rain has trickled through Chicopee tonight.

LOWELL – Scott Warwick hit the inside corner to catch Westfield pinch hitter Tim Lorenz looking, and the BC High Eagles had their first state championship since 2001 after beating Westfield, 7-1.

The win ended an impressive late season run for BC High. After finding themselves in last place at the beginning of the season, the Eagles turned on the afterburners. They finished the regular season at 16-4 and had three walk off wins in the state tournament.

“The makeup of this team is why we’re standing here now,” BC High head coach Norm Walsh said after the game as his players celebrated with the championship trophy. “It’s great, and really no surprise, that they finished they way they did. They were determined.”

Warwick came though huge for the Eagles in the biggest game of their season. The senior threw a complete game, striking out four Bombers batters and dancing in and out of trouble throughout the game. He did not have a 1-2-3 inning until the ninth, but was sure with his team would back him.

“I tried to focus and hit my spots,” he said. “I was confident it would work out. I had the best team in the state behind me.”

With the Eagles holding on to a slim 2-0 lead in the sixth inning, Warwick got what may have been the biggest out of the game. With the tying run at the plate, he snared a hard-hit ground ball and started a 1-6-3 double play.

It turned out to be the closest Westfield would get the rest of the way. BC High went on to score four runs the next inning, thanks to shaky defense by the Bombers and RBI singles by Tyler Horan, Tom Chase, and Mitch McClune, to go up 6-0.

Westfield’s hitters struggled with runners on could only scratch out one run all night. Joshua Blair led off the bottom of the seventh inning with a single, then moved to second on a wild pitch. Nick Gezotis doubled him home to cut the lead to 6-1, but then Warwick buckled down. He got the next batter out easily, and struck out Clifford Laraway on three pitches to end the inning.

“Once Scott smells it, its over,” Walsh said. “He just battled, battled, battled. He was just great.”

Early on, BC High catcher Tom Conley was able to use his arm to stifle potential Westfield rallies. The Catholic Conference MVP threw out Laraway by three steps at second base when he attempted a steal in the third inning. Then, after Steve Blair reached on a throwing error, an alert Conley (who was backing up the play) threw out the first baseman after he tried to advance to second on the play.

“We had to make a play in those spots,” said Conley, the team captain. “They were pretty much routine plays, but the size of the spot made them seem all that much bigger.”

A scary moment occurred with two outs in the second inning after BC High’s Billy Riley hit a sharp one-hop ground ball off the base off the mound. The shot appeared to ricochet off starter Jim Lorenz’s leg and towards second baseman Jeffery Crawford, who picked up the ball and made the out at first to end the inning. But Lorenz continued to lie on his side on the mound, his face expressing obvious pain. After a few moments he was able to walk off the mound under his own power and continue the game.

LOWELL -- It's the bottom of the eighth inning in the Division 1 state title game, and swarms of small insects seem to be invading LaLacheur Park. Some have even infiltrated the press box, and a security guard is seeking refuge after a number of bugs attached to his bright yellow jacket. "They're everywhere!" he yelled hopelessly.

BC High continues to lead Westfield, 7-1.

LOWELL -- Westfield has finally put a run across the plate on back-to-back hits by Joshua Blair and Nick Gezotis. Blair singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch, then was doubled home by Gezotis.

BC High escaped the inning without yielding further damage and now leads 6-1.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- The BC High offense has finally come alive, with the aid of some defensive mishaps. Westfield has committed two errors in the seventh and, coupled with four BC High singles, the Eagles now have a 6-0 lead.

That was enough to chase Jim Lorenz, who had only given up two runs until this point.

Tyler Horan, Tom Chase, and Mitch McClune have RBIs in the inning.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- Scott Warwick has been very impressive through six innings for the BC High Eagles. The senior has allowed a hit in every inning, but is yet to yield a run. He just snared a hard ground ball to start a 1-6-3 double play and has only walked one.

LOWELL – Luckily for Plymouth North, Tom MacInnes isn’t the greatest bunter.

The junior fouled off two bunt attempts with the winning run on second and no outs in the top of the tenth inning of yesterday’s Division 2 State Championship game at LeLacheur Park in Lowell, quickly falling behind 0-2.

But MacInnes’ next swing was much more productive, as the right fielder hit a liner that tailed toward left center, out of the reach of the diving centerfielder for his second hit of the game. Jared Canney, who led the inning off with a double that took a terrible hop off the third baseman and into left field, rounded third and headed home, scoring the only run of the game as Plymouth North defeated Auburn 1-0 in ten innings.

“How do you figure, you miss a bunt and then the kid gets a base hit,” Plymouth North coach Dwayne Follette said. “But he hit the ball hard all day.”

“I was anxious, I didn’t execute [on the bunt],” MacInnes said. “[On the hit] I thought the kid might have had a chance [to catch it]. He’s a great centerfielder.”

But the tailing liner dropped in, giving Plymouth North the perfect ending for a perfect season, as the Eagles (26-0) became the first undefeated team since Auburn pulled the feat off ten years ago. The heartbreaking loss ended a great run through the tournament for Auburn (18-7), who entered the central tournament as the seventh seed.

“There’s no easy way to lose,” Auburn coach Eric Swedberg said. “We did everything we could.”

The game was a showcase for two outstanding pitchers, as Auburn’s Jeff Croteau and Plymouth North’s Joe Flynn each pitched a complete game that extended well beyond the normal call of duty. Each was well deserving of a victory, and it took ten innings for one to finally surrender a run.

“Jeff Croteau, it was his game out there,” Swedberg said. “He was not coming out. We’re not a fan of doing that but he pitched an unbelievable game.”

But Flynn was just one notch better. The junior hurler went ten innings, striking out eight while surrendering just four hits. Flynn seemed to get stronger as the game wore on, recording six of his eight strikeouts after the sixth inning. He threw 111 pitches, 81 for strikes.

“The kid’s throwing 85 [mph] in the tenth inning, blowing people away,” Follette said. “I was worried because that was his last inning. He had come back on three and then four days rest and he was tired, he told us.”

Flynn gave up a double to start the seventh inning, but that seemed to rejuvenate the junior. He responded by striking out five of the next six batters he faced and allowed just one more hit the rest of the game.

Flynn’s pitching performance set the stage for MacInnes’ dramatic walk-off single, a fairy-tale ending for the junior that transferred back to his home school from Catholic Memorial this year.

“[I came back here] because I wanted to be with my friends. [Getting the game-winning it] was awesome, it was a thrill,” MacInnes said. “We worked hard all year and it paid off.”

LOWELL -- We've played three innings at LeLacheur Park, and BC High and Westfield remain scoreless in the Division 1 title game. Jim Lorenz has kept BC High's potent offense in check, allowing only two singles. Scott Warwick worked around a two out error in the third inning to keep the game knotted at zero.

Catholic Conference MVP Tom Conley showed why he's one of the better catchers in the state the past inning. The BC High backstop fired a strike to second base on a pitchout, catching Cliff Larraway by at least three steps.

More updates to come.

Here's a recap of Westwood's win in their title game versus Frontier Regional.

By Matt Porter, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL – It happens every time. One mistake gets hammered, and then Westwood starts tacking runs on the board.

Take today's third inning, for example. One baserunner after another, and before long, the Wolverines had produced eight runs and a championship.

The No. 14 Wolverines, who entered the tournament at 12-8, capped a dominant postseason blasting Frontier, 12-6, to capture the Division 3 title at LeLacheur Park.

"We didn't want anything standing between us and the championship," said senior catcher Brian Morante. "One person sparks it, and it fires right through the whole team."

Westwood laid off outside offerings from Redhawks starter Gary Grandonico and smacked whatever was over the plate. Senior center fielder Sean Grandfield led off the third with a single to right, then he stole second without a throw. Morante, who came in hitting .588, worked a 12-pitch walk before junior first baseman Jason Sementelli (3-4) drove in Grandfield. Junior pitcher John Sheehan walked to load the bases, and Grandonico hit sophomore third baseman David Milano, scoring Morante to make it 3-0.

Grandonico was supplanted by junior righty Robbie Sjodahl, but he fared worse.
Despite throwing four consecutive first-pitch strikes, Sjodahl hit a batter, walked in a run, gave up a suicide squeeze and a two-run single, and was victim of an two-run error.

"This whole year, we've been ripping the ball all over the place," said Sheehan, the beneficiary of all the fireworks.

Throwing on a seven days rest, the righthander dazzled in six innings, fanned ten while allowing three runs on six hits and an error.

He mixed in curves while spotting 89-MPH heat, but his change was nastier, keeping the Redhawks off-balance all day. "That was the one I had working," said Sheehan, smiling with the game ball in his back pocket.

"When he's on, he's got a fastball that he can blow by people, a curve that makes them look ridiculous, and then there's his change," said Morante, wearing a bag of ice on his left hand he said was needed after catching Sheehan's fastball. "It's been an honor to catch him this year."

"He was tremendous today," said Frontier coach Aaron Campbell. "He's probably the best pitcher we've seen."

Frontier put together a three-run fifth to get back into it, as junior Ashton Lutenegger and seniors David White and Tim Capuano each singled in runs to make it 9-4. But Westwood soon put out the fire. Doubles by Sementelli, Sheehan and David Milano plated two in the bottom of the inning, and Sheehan quickly got two ground balls and a pop-up.

"That was beautiful," said Sheehan. "Get right out there and get it done."
Junior lefty Ryan Walsh gave up a run in the bottom of the seventh, but the Wolverines piled on each other at shortstop when Redhawks second baseman Anthony Laurentis grounded out to end it.

"They hit the ball hard," said Campbell. "Our kids, I don't want to say they were intimidated, but I think they got caught up in the moment. We met our match today. They deserve all the accolades they get."

LOWELL -- The Eagles soared to an undefeated record (26-0) after Tom MacInnes doubled home Jared Canney in the bottom of the tenth inning in the Division 2 state title game. Plymouth North defeated Auburn to end one of the best pitching duels of the 2008 tournament.

Joe Flynn (12-0) threw ten scoreless innings, striking out eight. Six of those punch outs came in the seventh inning or later. Flynn only gave up four hits on the day.

Jeff Croteau was just as impressive for the Rockets. The Auburn pitcher only gave up one run, in the tenth, despite only picking up two strikeouts.

But it was the Eagles' day, and now head coach Dwayne Follette and his team can hang an undefeated banner in Plymouth.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- How many more great defensive plays can be made? With the lead run on first base and one out in the top of the ninth, PN center fielder Keegan Grabhorn tracked down a deep drive, then fired to first base to double off Auburn's Evan Pluff and keep the game scoreless.

Then, in the bottom of the inning, Auburn center fielder Keith Leatham made a diving play to open up the ninth inning and keep Mike Higgins off the bases. Jeff Croteau set down the next two batters to send the game to the 10th.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- Auburn relied on a wild defensive play at first base and starter Jeff Croteau to keep the Division 2 state title game scoreless into the ninth inning.

Plymouth North's Tom MacInnes shot a line drive off first baseman Jon Geeze's glove, but second baseman Nick Natoli picked up the deflection and flipped it back to Geeze. The senior had his foot on first base and MacInnes, sliding headfirst, was called out.

Croteau escaped the inning after two batters reached, and we head to the ninth.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- Joe Flynn seems to be saving his best for last in the Division 2 state title game. The PN ace just struck out the side in the eighth inning and has recorded five strikeouts since yielding a leadoff double in the seventh.

Once again, the Eagles will look to put the final touches on their undefeated season as they send the heart of their lineup to bat in the eighth.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- After PN ace Joe Flynn stranded a runner in scoring position in his half of the seventh, Auburn pitcher Joeff Croteau did the same to extend this intense pitching duel.

Pinch hitter Corey Coleman led off the inning with a single for the Eagles, then moved to third base on a sacrifice bunt and ground out, Croteau got leadoff hitter Jared Canney to fly out to right field and keep the game scoreless heading to extras.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- After Jon Leroux led off the Auburn seventh with a double to the warning track in center, PN's Joe Flynn showed why he's yet to lose a game this season. The ace struck out the next two batters, then induced a ground ball out to shortstop to keep the Division 2 state title game scoreless.

Plymouth North is coming up to bat in their half of the seventh, hoping to put the finishing touches on an undefeated sesaon.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- The game has gone to the 7th inning and both Auburn and Plymouth North have not scored. Plymouth North will now need a walk-off win if they want to finish undefeated on the season.

Joe Flynn has been spectacular for PN, as has Jeff Croteau for Auburn. Flynn has only given up two hits through six innings and only one Rockets runner has reached third base. Croteau has only yielded four meaningless singles and has kept the PN bats in check.

Should be an exciting finish, stay tuned for more updates.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- One half inning after Plymouth North kept the Division 2 state title game scoreless with solid defense, Auburn did the same. With the lead run on second with one out, Rockets left fielder Connor Beach made a nice adjustment on a running catch to snare a tailing line drive off the bat of Tom MacInnes. The play kept the game tied at zero.

Auburn is up in their half of the sixth, looking for their first run.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- With the lead run on second base and one out, Auburn's Keith Leatham lined what looked like a single towards left field. But PN shortstop Pat Lane made an impressive jumping grab, then fired to second to double off the Auburn runner and keep the game at 0-0.

Matt Walsh just led off the Eagles' fifth with a single on the first pitch.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- The Eagles have had a runner in scoring position in each of the first three innings, but Auburn starter Jeff Croteau has escaped each time and held Plymouth North scoreless.

First baseman Jon Geeze just made an impressive tag on an off-target throw to retire PN designated hitter Jordan Wylie and keep the Eagles off the board in the thrid. Tom MacInnes, who had led off the inning with a single, was stranded on third base.

Auburn did not score in their half of the fourth inning.

By Andrew Petrie, Globe Correspondent

LOWELL -- Auburn and Plymouth North have yet to score through two innings in the Division 2 state title game at LeLacheur Park.

Plymouth North, trying for an undefeated season, has left two runners on base in each of the first two innings. Starter Joe Flynn (11-0) worked out of first inning trouble and set down Auburn 1-2-3 in the second inning.

QUINCY -- For BC High senior Scott Warwick, nothing would ruin a return to his hometown. The Quincy native went the distance on some home turf at Adams Field and led the Eagles to victory over North Attleboro, 5-2.

With the game tied, 2-2, flashes of lightning prompted umpires to delay the game for 30 minutes. Red Rocketeers starter Mike Mancini struggled after the break. With runners on first and second, UMass-Amherst-bound Tom Conley raised his hand to call time, but his request was denied by umpire Art Krikorian. Conley didn't miss a beat, slapping an RBI single past the dive of shortstop Brendan Picini for the Eagles' go-ahead run.

Warwick retired the last 12 batters and allowed only two base runners after the lightning delay.

"I felt like I got stronger [after the delay]," said Warwick, who threw in the bullpen to keep fresh during the half-hour break.

Mancini got off on the right foot, neutralizing the Eagles batting order the first time through the lineup. His offense provide some support as well.

Right fielder Greg Dusel led off the second inning with a single to right and first baseman Kevin Connolly doubled him home to give North Attleboro the early lead. Two batters later, designated hitter Mike D'Attilio popped a one-out pitch to foul territory down the right field line. Eagles' first baseman Billy Kiley made an over-the-shoulder catch and threw home, but Kevin Connolly managed to slide in safely under the tag of BC High catcher Tom Conley.

BC High coach Norm Walsh ran out to the plate protesting the call. After a brief explanation -- and some scolding by home plate umpire Art Krikorian -- Walsh returned to the water cooler he was sitting on. The tides -- or, perhaps, the clouds, would quickly turn for his team.

Jimmy Albano and Billy Miller logged RBI single to tie the contest at 2. Then flashes of lighting prompted umpires to pull North Attleboro off the field as they warmed up before the bottom of the fifth inning.

Mancini couldn't recover from the half-hour break. "The lightning delay took some steam out of [him]," Walsh said.

Conley soon produced the go-ahead hit and BC High never looked back.

From there, it was smooth sailing for Warwick. The right-hander retired each of the last 12 batters he faced and allowed only two baserunners after the delay.

"He was the difference in the game," Eagles' coach Norm Walsh said. "He came up big."

All told, Warwick allowed five hits and hit a batter in his nine innings of work. Warwick's high pitch-count on the season was 115, a number he neared in the outing. Walsh said he planned to cut him off at 110. The coach even warmed up ace Ed Donovan, but never needed to make the switch.

"He settled into a groove," Walsh said. "He was very, very effective."

His counterpart also impressed, holding the Eagles to only five runs over six innings -- BC High's lowest offensive production of the tournament thus far.

"It was a generous strike zone," Walsh said with a smile. "Both guys made it tough on hitters."

BC High advances to today's Division I South final against Walpole -- a rematch of last year's title game -- at 7 p.m. in Braintree.

A few game notes:

For the most part, both teams fielded a pretty good game. There was the occasional error, but fielders were often in the right spot and showed good range.

In the bottom of the eighth, with Evan Dean pitching in relief for North Attleboro, junior Kevin Richman made a fantastic tumbling catch down the left-field line. Third baseman Steve Sousa followed that up on the next play with a barehanded throw on a grounder down the line to nab Cody Morgan by inches.

Strange to see a half-hour delay when a droplet of rain never touched the field. It's even stranger when you consider rain pelted the Eagles in their delay-free 31-2 destruction of Needham to open up the tournament.

Conley, listed at 6-foot-1, 230 pounds, is larger than either of the two UMass-Amherst catchers on the college's roster. Also, according to the site, neither player has hit a home run in collegiate play. Conley has a rocket for an arm and generates an awful lot of power with his swing.

Scott Weismann knew he would be pitching for the Tigers next year. But now he has a decision -- Clemson or Detroit?

The Acton-Boxboro ace was selected by the Detroit Tigers in Day 2 of the Major League Baseball Draft Friday. Weismann, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound right-handed pitcher, got tabbed in the 18th round (553d overall).

Weismann, who received the call while at a friend's house this afternoon, said that, though he was excited by the news, he still wants to keep his options open.

"I have no clue what's going to happen," said Weismann. "They're going to call me back, but I haven't made a decision yet. It's still up in the air. It's honestly going to come down to how much money I'm offered."

Acton-Boxboro coach Patrick Grucela has no doubt his star pitcher will make the right decision.

"He's got a good head on his shoulders," said Grucela, whose charges advanced to the Division 1 North quarterfinals this spring before bowing to Haverhill. "He knows he'll get a great education at Clemson while playing baseball, and he's aware of the opportunity with the Tigers. Either environment will be great for him."

Weismann said the Tigers organization will probably keep a close eye on him while he plays for the Ohio Warhawks this summer. He said he'll probably be tendered a contract, and after that the two sides will be able to negotiate from there.

The selection of Weismann, who was named the Gatorade Massachusetts Baseball Player of the Year, marked a significant moment in the rebuilding of the A-B baseball program. The two-time Dual County Leage MVP started the 2008 season 6-2 with a 0.96 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 51 innings, and batted .404 with 10 RBI through 19 games.

Weismann initially got contacted by the Tigers in the fourth round on Day 1. He didn't get drafted for a considerable time after, however, likely due to the fact that most clubs knew he wouldn't sign for less than second-round money.

From South Carolina's The State,

Clemson had its fingers crossed, though, with pitcher Scott Weismann of Boxbourgh, who made it known he would sign for second-round money.

Weismann got a call from Detroit in the fourth round, but the Tigers wound up taking someone else.

Weismann said Thursday night he would have to wait and see how the draft plays out before guaranteeing he will attend college.

Last year, Roxbury Latin's Jack McGeary -- a potential first-round selection -- slid to the sixth round before being taken by the Washington Nationals. It appeared McGeary would follow through with his commitment to Stanford, but he struck a midnight deal with the Nationals on the eve of the signing deadline when the club offered him first-round money.

With a strong performance this summer, Weismann might be able to drive up his own price tag, but can always enroll at Clemson if he and the Detroit Tigers are unable to hash out a deal.

A note on another local from our friends at the Worcester Telegram & Gazette:

St. Peter-Marian fireballer Keith Landers now has a decision to make. What's his favorite bird: Cardinals or Orioles.

It took a little longer than most expected, but Landers was drafted moments ago by the Baltimore Orioles with their 18th round selection in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft.

Landers, who had just pitched the Guardians into the Division 1 Central Mass. final yesterday over Algonquin, was selected 536th overall and was the sixth left-handed pitcher drafted by the Orioles.

Now Landers has to make a decision between signing with the Orioles or heading to the University of Louisville, where he has a four-year scholarship waiting for him to pitch for the Cardinals.

Boston.com's Chris Forsberg contributed to this report.

Acton-Boxboro ace Scott Weismann has been named the Gatorade Massachusetts baseball Player of the Year for the 2008 season.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior right-handed pitcher compiled a 6-2 record with a 0.96 ERA and 85 strikeouts through 51 innings during the regular season. Weismann also boasted a .404 batting average with 17 runs scored and 10 RBIs through 19 games.

"He’s dominant on the mound,” said Acton-Boxboro coach Patrick Grucela. "He’s got a great competitive spirit, and he’s just ferocious. You can tell he just means business. Whenever he’s on the mound, he gives us a chance to win. He’s been our leader in wins and our leading hitter the last two years. If I get another Scott Weismann in my coaching career, I’ll be lucky. You just can’t replace a kid like that overnight."

Weismann is bound for Clemson in the fall.

city championships

A recap of today's Boston City League baseball semifinals by the Globe's Andrew Petrie:

Boston North champion Boston English jumped to an early three-run lead and the hosts held on for a 5-3 victory over South co-champs O’Bryant in the semifinals of the Boston City League baseball championships Saturday.

Starling Arias, fresh with a week of rest, dominated for English, striking out 11 batters in a complete-game effort. Coach Rich Beyer credited him with getting his team up and ready for one of the biggest games of their season.

“I told the young kids on the bench to watch the way he pitches and carries himself on the field,” Beyer said. “He bears down and he did it today.”

The game featured a controversial call that swayed the momentum of the contest. With the bases loaded and the tying run on second with two outs in the sixth inning, O’Bryant’s Eric Cabral hit a foul pop to the right side. Arias ran from the mound towards foul territory to try to make the catch, but collided with Cabral, who was hustling down the line. Cabral was called out on interference, ending the inning and stifling the best chance O’Bryant would have to take the lead.

“It was a bad call,” O’Bryant coach Junior Rivera said. “That ball was uncatchable.”

Beyer disagreed, saying Arias had a chance to make the play. “The kid was running hard to first base and running hard like he should be, but it just ended up being a tough play for them," he said.

One such play was in the third inning, when English center fielder Starling Gonzalez threw home to catch Jose Pichardo at the plate. Pichardo was tagged out and since he did not slide he was tossed from the game, providing another setback for O’Bryant.

“There were momentum plays that chanced the game and got people fired up and going all afternoon,” Beyer said.

English opened up a 3-0 lead in the first inning, highlighted by an RBI single by team captain Nelfi Zapata. The big inning fired up the English bench and gave them confidence they could take down talented O’Byant.

“It was exciting, the kids were pumped after [scoring in the first],” Beyer said. “Going up 3-0 will help you get up to play.”

Shortstop Jose Pena had three hits for O’Bryant in the loss.

English will face West Roxbury on Monday for the City title.

Newburyport 11, Hamilton-Wenham 2

SOUTH HAMILTON -- This time last year, Joe Clancy was just a sophomore reaching for the catcher’s mask because Newburyport had a hole behind home plate that needed filling.

By the late innings Tuesday afternoon, his team up 11 runs over a young group from Hamilton-Wenham and his 4-for-4, 2-RBI day safely in the books, Clancy was poking at his coach Bill Pettingell to put on the catcher’s gear for old time’s sake.

Pettingell couldn’t argue with the kid.

“I told him, today you looked like a pro out there among a bunch of college kids,” Pettingell said.

Clancy sparked an entire offense in the Clippers' 11-2 win over the Generals, his first-inning RBI single opening the floodgates in a four-run inning and his run-scoring liner to left in piling on another score in a seven-run fourth.

Then he caught a couple innings, just because.

Clancy pushed his batting average over the .400 mark this spring, but more importantly his performance helped push the 10-6 Clippers into the state tournament.

“I started off slow in the year, so I just tried to get back to basics,” Clancy said. “I feel like I’m starting to hit the ball well. The whole team’s hitting the ball. Hitting’s kind of contagious right now. Everybody’s on a good streak right now.”

Two at-bats after Clancy’s first-inning single, junior left fielder Kyle LeBlanc turned a 2-0 fastball into a three-run home run, one of his two hits on the day.

And in the fourth, the Clippers sent 12 batters to the plate, including first baseman Tommy Morris who had two hits in the inning, scoring a run on a single by Kyle McElroy and driving in a run with a double near the end of the frame.

It’s the third time this season that Newburyport eclipsed the 10-run mark. Another sign that the squad’s 1-4 start is in their rearview.

“It’s a roller coaster,” Clancy said, looking for a way to describe the season. “In baseball, things like this happen.”

Newburyport’s been waiting for the bats to catch up with its pitching. McElroy, a junior right hander, allowed just one unearned run in his fifth win of the season.

“We’re getting great pitching performances day in and day out,” Clancy said. “It’s easy for a pitcher when you’ve got a good defense behind you. And we’re starting to get the hits going now and we’re getting those together, then we can string together some wins.”

At one point Newburyport lost three straight one-run games, but over the past month you could argue there hasn’t been a better team in the Cape Ann League.

“We’ve been playing a little bit looser and with a little more confidence,” Pettingell said.
”I think that’s why we’re in contention.”

The Clippers tripped up then-unbeaten Masconomet last Monday, 6-5, and watched as the Chieftains took a second straight loss to North Reading, coming back to the pack it looked like they had lapped twice over.

Newburyport went into Tuesday afternoon expecting a little help from that same North Reading team, which who took a trip to North Andover, but didn’t get it. Had North Reading beaten North Andover, the top of the CAL would have had a three-headed Masco, Newburyport, North Andover monster.

But North Andover’s 6-5 win, gave them sole possession of the top spot for the time being.

“It’s going to be tough,” Pettingell said. “But we’re in the picture.”

Malden Catholic 5, BC High 1

MALDEN--Malden Catholic had never won its own Catholic Conference title outright. Not in Steve Freker’s nine years as head coach. Not in the history of the school. They earned a share of it more than two decades ago, but that’s it.

So with his team down 1-0 to BC High Monday, Freker was as little nervous and a little intense. “All these Catholic Conference games are so close,” he said.

But the Lancers always keep an ace tucked away somewhere.

“I would say it’s a calling card,” Freker said.

This year it’s Chris Labriola, the senior with the mixed bag of pitches and the endurance to throw four complete games and win them all without flinching.

And with BC High over for a visit to Maplewood Field Monday afternoon and at least a share of the Catholic Conference title being the sweet reward if the senior left hander could stretch his undefeated streak to five games, Freker was more than comfortable reaching into his pocket for an ace.

Labriola went the distance for a fifth time in MC’s 5-1 win over the Eagles that upped his season record to 5-0 after giving up just one earned run and guaranteeing the Lancers at least a share of their first Catholic Conference title since 1983.

Almost simultaneously, St. John’s Prep was handing Xaverian its third conference loss, clinching Malden Catholic’s first outright Catholic Conference title in school history.

“I think it’s great,” Freker said. “It’s something that hasn’t been done in a long time."

The senior left hander started off slowly against BC High, plunking the Eagles leadoff batter and walking three batters in four innings, but aside from a straight-off–the-assembly-line run that BC High manufactured in the second inning, Freker said, “They weren’t hitting him.”

“Every year since I’ve been here we’ve had at least one big pitcher,” Freker said.

He was able to pitch with a lead after the third inning when junior outfielder Dario Pizzano got a hold of a pitch from BC High's Frank Sorrenti and hit it hard and deep into the corner in right field that scored Tony Serino and James Castrucci.

The Lancers piled two more on in the fourth on a two-run double by Nate Witkowski. An RBI single by Robert Machado in the fifth allowed Labriola to cruise through two more scoreless innings, and lower an ERA that was an already microscopic 0.50 coming in.

He helped Malden Catholic win their first Catholic Conference title in any sport since the lacrosse team raised the championship banner in 2006.

"It’s great for the school," Freker said. "It’s great for the kids. They have a lot of goals and that’s certainly one of them.”

The Play(s) of the Game(s) clip below provides highlights for two of Wednesday's biggest battles.

First, BC High netminder David Barton makes a rash of second-half saves to prevent previously undefeated Billerica from making a late charge as the Eagles emerged with an 11-8 triumph at James Cotter Field.

In the second half of the clip, the Tewksbury baseball team erupts for 11 runs over the first three innings of play. The Redmen smashed the ball all over the yard to take complete control against rival Andover.

• Click HERE to watch the Play of the Game

Tewksbury emerges with a rock solid 12-4 triumph at "home" in Andover. The Redmen scored six runs in the first, added four more in the third and breezed to the finish line against a Merrimack Valley Conference foe.

Tewksbury, 11-0 (end of 3rd)

So much for this showdown. Tewksbury struck for four more runs in the third and leads "visiting" Andover, 11-0, at Peter Aumais Park.

We're pulling the plug on this one. Off to catch the end of BC High-Billerica lacrosse.

Tewksbury, 7-0 (end of 2nd)

Tewksbury tacks on another run and leads Andover, 7-0, moving to the third frame.

Tewksbury, 6-0 (end of 1st)

Bit of confusion as Tewksbury is the home team, but we're here in Andover for today's contest (this after we found out the hard way that Strong Field is under construction at Tewksbury Memorial High School).

We didn't miss any of the fireworks here, though.

Tewksbury struck for six runs in the bottom of the first and leads, 6-0.

Mike Ferreiro and Pat Devlin opened the game with back-to-back singles before Ronnie Wallace walked to load the bases with no outs. Cleanup man Mike Delponte ripped a liner to right field that should have been caught, but it ticked off the outfielder's glove and rolled straight towards the fence allowing all four runners to score.

Not a great start for Andover and it didn't get any better from there as a single sandwiched between a pair of triples helped Tewksbury put up two more runs before the end of the frame.

Pregame

We'll be live from Andover this morning, where the Redmen -- the Globe's preseason No.1 -- "hosts" the Warriors in a Merrimack Valley Conference showdown at 11 a.m.

Andover (4-1) is undefeated in league play with its lone loss being a 2-1, season-opening defeat at the hands of Cambridge.

Tewksbury started the season with four straight wins before dropping a 6-4 decision to Methuen during a visit to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., last week. Expect the Redmen to be ultra-focussed for this league matchup.

Back with more this afternoon.

Check out the videos below to see more highlights from two of Thursday's best battles:

• Click HERE to watch Xaverian vs. Lincoln-Sudbury baseball

In the Plays of the Games clip below: Freshman Rachel Igoe and junior Sam Zetlin score goals 34 seconds apart to help Framingham erase an early deficit en route to a 13-9 victory over Andover in girls' lacrosse. Later, Lincoln-Sudbury's Sam Finn singles home Jason Roth as the Warriors topped Xaverian, 2-1, in eight innings, in baseball.

• Click HERE to watch the Plays of the Games

We took in two of Thursday's best games (our plan to catch three was foiled by extra innings in the baseball game). Here's what unfolded:

Baseball: Xaverian vs. Lincoln-Sudbury

Sam Finn singles home Jason Roth in the bottom of the eight as L-S emerges with a 2-1 win.

Roth opened the inning with a single off reliever Matt Morin (pitching on 2-day's rest following a brilliant performance against BC High Monday). Mark Hogan followed with a sacrifice attempt that rolled perfectly down the third-base line allowing him to reach safely while advancing Roth to second.

Finn ripped a single to right and Roth raced home ahead of the throw for the victory.

Tied, 1-1 (bot 6th)

Mark Hogan hit a solo homer to tie this game moving to the seventh inning.

Xaverian, 1-0 (top 6th)

Welcome to Sudbury, where the visiting Hawks lead host L-S, 1-0, in the top of the sixth.

Xaverian pushed across the game's lone run in the top of the third with a little two-out magic as Matt Morin singled, took second on a wild pitch, then scored on an opposite-field single by Sean Reilly.

Girls' lacrosse: Andover vs. Framingham

A final from Framingham, the Flyers prevail, 13-9.

Tied, 4-4 (half):

The teams head to the intermission knotted at 4. A very entertaining first half. Framingham dominated possession, but the Warriors came up with big defensive stands and cashed in on their opportunities.

We're zipping off to Sudbury now for more action, but we've got a correspondent here who will continue to feed us details so keep an eye on this space for more.

Tied, 4-4 (8:26, 1st)

Framingham bounces back to tie things up with Andover on goals by Sam Zetlin and Rachel Igoe (showing flashes of her sister's speed) as we're knotted at 4 with 8:26 to play in the first half.

Andover, 4-2 (12:00, 1st)

Framingham struck for a pair of free-position goals in the early going, but Andover has responded with four consecutive scores, including two for Heather Sullivan, to open a 4-2 advantage midway through the first half.

***

Welcome to Framingham, where the third-ranked Flyers girls' lacrosse team is set to host fifth-ranked Andover in a nonleague showdown.

The visiting Warriors check in at 5-0, but should receive their stiffest test of the season against a 7-1 Framingham squad (the Flyers fell to Bay State Conference rival Wellesley, snapping a 52-game winning streak back on April 7).

***

We're going to alter our plan of attack ever-so slightly today with the idea of getting more games on film. We're going to make it a tripleheader this afternoon and here's what we're hoping to see (in this particular order):

• girls' lacrosse Andover at Framingham
• boys' volleyball Newton North at Lincoln-Sudbury
• baseball Xaverian at Lincoln-Sudbury

Essentially, we're adding a couple of pit stops before getting to the baseball game. With the proximity of all these games, we're hoping to create a highlight reel of some of the day's best action in a variety of sports.

As usual, we'll pass along updates along our way.

The Globe's Amanda Bruno is taking in the Andover-Framingham battle and will have a full recap as part of Thursday's school roundup.

For more details on this afternoon's baseball battle, check out the preview below. Back with more in a bit.

***

A reminder that we'll be live from Sudbury this afternoon, where the undefeated and sixth-ranked Lincoln-Sudbury baseball team hosts Xaverian in a nonleague showdown.

L-S, the reigning Division 1 state champs, has dominated its competition (save only for a one-run victory over Dual County League rival Westford Academy). Its other four opponents have fallen by a combined score of 36-2.

The Warriors posted a 25-1 record last fall while claiming the state crown.

Xaverian endured its first loss Wednesday, letting a potential victory over Catholic Conference rival St. John's Prep slip away in a 5-4 defeat. The Hawks already boast quality wins over St. John's (Shrewsbury), Brockton, and BC High.

Xaverian scraped together a 10-10 regular-season record last spring, but stormed to the Division 1 South semifinals before falling to eventual sectional champion BC High.

We'll have more from Sudbury this afternoon.

Here's what we've got penciled in for live coverage the next few days. As usual, we'll provide live updates from these games and we'll capture video highlights for the site:

Tuesday: boys' lacrosse Billerica at Reading, 4 p.m.

Reading is one of the most intriguing stories of the young season. The Rockets posted a quality 14-4 mark out of the Middlesex League last season, but earned the 14th seed in the Eastern Mass. Division 2 tournament and fell to North Andover, 6-4, in a first-round matchup.

After two quality efforts against Lexington last season, the Rockets finally broke through by topping the Minutemen, 11-10, this past Friday. Reading now stands at 5-0, but Billerica should provide one of the loftiest tests the Rockets will encounter during the regular season in this nonleague battle.

Wednesday: softball Acton-Boxboro at Concord-Carlisle, 4 p.m.

Concord-Carlisle dominated the Dual County League while putting together a perfect regular season last spring, but it was Acton-Boxboro that shone brightest during the postseason.

While the top-seeded Patriots endured an unceremonious quarterfinal exit in the Division 2 North bracket, A-B stormed all the way to the Division 1 North finals before the 10th-seeded Colonials fell to Reading in the championship tilt.

Thursday: baseball Xaverian at Lincoln-Sudbury, 4 p.m.

Fresh off a thrilling win over second-ranked BC High, Xaverian boasts a 5-0 mark and is the only Catholic Conference squad without a blemish thus far. The Hawks will make the trek to Sudbury, where the defending Division 1 champions continue to roll with a 4-0 record on the young season. The Warriors have outscored opponents, 32-7, during those wins, but Xaverian will pose the biggest challenge of the season.
