Legionnaires score comeback win<br />
By Daniel Kane<br />
PEABODY — The <strong>Peabody</strong>-<br />
Middleton Legion baseball team battled<br />
back to erase a five-run deficit and<br />
earned a 9-5 win over Newburyport<br />
Monday night at <strong>Peabody</strong> High School’s<br />
Bezemes Diamond.<br />
Trevor Lodi (1-for-4) had two RBI,<br />
while Pat Costigan (3-for-4), Taiden<br />
Perez (2-for-3), David Hunter (2-for-<br />
4), Cooper Marengi (1-for-4) and Josh<br />
Cerretani (1-for-3) each added one RBI<br />
for <strong>Peabody</strong>-Middleton.<br />
“The guys were out ahead of pitches,<br />
we saw a lot of off-speed pitches,”<br />
<strong>Peabody</strong>-Middleton manager John<br />
Kowalski said of his team at the plate.<br />
“It’s easy to get ahead and pop a few<br />
pitches up and not see the ball. We<br />
stayed back on the ball a bit better, got<br />
our timing down and eventually started<br />
hitting the ball good.”<br />
Lodi, who started the game at first<br />
base, came in to relieve <strong>Peabody</strong>-<br />
Middleton starting pitcher Chris Masta<br />
in the third inning. Lodi pitched 4 1/3<br />
shutout innings while allowing five hits,<br />
striking out one and walking one batter.<br />
“We’ve played a lot of games in a<br />
short amount of time and Trevor hasn’t<br />
pitched, I think he’s pitched two innings<br />
for us all year,” Kowalski said.<br />
“We knew he could throw strikes, we<br />
tested him a couple weeks ago with a<br />
big lead against Danvers and he came in<br />
and threw strikes so we had him in reserve.<br />
Tonight he did a fantastic job and<br />
he pitched the last four innings and shut<br />
them down, a real nice job.”<br />
Newburyport got things started in the<br />
top of the third with a five-run inning.<br />
The inning included three hits, four walks<br />
and one <strong>Peabody</strong>-Middleton infield error<br />
to put Newburyport up 5-0 early.<br />
In the bottom half of the third<br />
<strong>Peabody</strong>-Middleton started to chip away<br />
at Newburyport’s lead when David<br />
Hunter drove Mike Federico in to score<br />
on a single making the score 5-1.<br />
In the fourth inning <strong>Peabody</strong>-<br />
Middleton added two more runs to inch<br />
closer. Perez and Federico both hit singles<br />
to put runners at the corners with<br />
one out. The next batter, Cerretani,<br />
grounded into a fielder’s choice at shortstop<br />
to score Perez. Later in the inning<br />
Costigan singled to drive in a run and cut<br />
the deficit to 5-3.<br />
In the fifth <strong>Peabody</strong>-Middleton blew<br />
the game open with six runs. With runners<br />
at second and third Lodi doubled to score<br />
two runs and tied the game at 5-5. After a<br />
pitching change, the next batter, Perez, hit<br />
a RBI single to give <strong>Peabody</strong>-Middleton<br />
a 6-5 lead. That brought Federico up to<br />
the plate, who doubled in Perez. Federico<br />
scored on the play after two errant<br />
Newburyport throws, giving <strong>Peabody</strong>-<br />
Middleton a 8-5 lead. <strong>Peabody</strong>-Middleton<br />
added one more run in the inning thanks to<br />
a RBI double from Marengi, stretching the<br />
lead to a four-run margin and capping the<br />
scoring for the night.<br />
After a slow start to the Legion season,<br />
Kowalski likes his team’s direction as of late.<br />
“We’ve made a lot of progress,”<br />
Kowalski said. “We started off slow at<br />
2-3, 3-5 but then we won five straight and<br />
got back in it. The goal was to make the<br />
playoffs this year and when we have our<br />
full team that shows up, which is a challenge<br />
with all of the competing summer<br />
priorities, we’re a very good team.<br />
“I think we’ll prioritize next weekend<br />
and the playoffs,” Kowalski added. “I<br />
think we’re going to have our best team<br />
and put our best foot forward.”<br />
