Jake Stearns turned in another solid outing as he scattered three hits and struck out ten Cougar hitters to pick up a key Divisional victory for the Warriors. Tyler Morini continued his torrid hitting as he went four for four and drove in a pair of runs.

The Warriors staked Jake to a 3-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Morini and Dylan Ashburn led off with singles and were plated on a booming double to left field by Alex Carey. Justin Martinho followed with another single to score Alex. Jake gave up a run in the bottom of the fourth, but Massasoit came right back and scored three in the top of the fifth inning. Kevin Huscher reached on a single and Bryan Dwyer’s ground ball was misplayed to put runners on first and second. Tyler Morini blasted and opposite field double to score both runners and effectively put the game out of reach.

Jake was never really in trouble and his 101 pitch complete game effort, improved the Warriors to 3-0 in Divisional play. Saturday brings in the Northern Essex CC Knights for a key double header, starting at 12:00 pm at Colombo Field.
