On a cold and dreary day at Fraser Field Sunday, the Peabody bats were red hot as the Tanners pounded out 15 hits against six English pitchers to improve to 7-2. Leading 4-0 after three, the Tanners sent 13 men to the plate in the fourth, with eight of them scoring to put the game out of reach.
Shortstop Cole Cuzzi (2 RBI, run) and third baseman Chris Gillen (2-run double, 4 RBI) had three hits each to lead the Tanners, while pitcher Joe Gilmartin helped his own cause, going 2-for-3 with a walk, run scored and 2-run double.

The loss was the fifth straight for English (3-6).
Austin Prep 6, St. Mary’s 4
The Cougars dealt the Spartans their first loss of the season Saturday.

Austin Prep reliever Robbie Cobb came in and got a double play, but walked the next three batters, bringing in a run for the Spartans. Jack Ward came through with an extra-base hit down the left field line that brought in two more.
Spartans starter Bobby Alcock, back on the mound for the first time since tossing a perfect game last Monday, went 3 1/3 innings, striking out four and walking four. The Cougars scored early and often, bringing in two in the first, one in the third and three in the fourth.
