Fast start propels Saugus softball past Swampscott
SWAMPSCOTT — The Saugus softball team jumped out to a fast start and never looked back Tuesday afternoon, rolling to an 18-3 win in five innings over Swampscott in a Northeastern Conference bout at Forest Avenue Park.
The win also officially qualifies Saugus for a state tournament spot, something coach Steve Almquist wasn't anticipating with his young team.
