BASE HITS

High Five

Melissa Light , Malden: The junior right fielder ripped a single and triple in the Division 1 state semifinals against Bridgewater-Raynham and her ground ball back to the mound in the bottom of the ninth plated the winning run in a 5-4 victory.

Lauren Ramirez : The Middies defeated Winchester 6-0 for the Division 2 North crown behind the junior ace’s three-hit, 11-strikeout shutout.

Ryley Warnock , North Reading: The Hornets defeated East Bridgewater, 5-3, in the Division 3 state semis thanks to a complete game, seven-strikeout effort from the junior pitcher.
