Shut down by Shamrocks
The Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School baseball team lost 6-0 to a strong Bishop Feehan squad on Monday at the Martha’s Vineyard Baseball Park.
Captain Ben Ciciora started on the mound and was touched for a run in the first, but he then shut out the Shamrocks until the fifth when the visitors added two more. With one out remaining in the inning, Ryan Fisher relieved Ben. At the end of the inning the Shamrocks led, 5-0. Final score: Feehan 6, Martha’s Vineyard 0.
Feehan’s pitching was no mystery to Jack Roberts. He hit safely twice, one of them a double.
The loss was the Islanders’ seventh against two wins. Martha’s Vineyard is 0-3 in the Eastern Athletic Conference. They played Bishop Stang, another EAC opponent, yesterday.
Boys’ lacrosse bows at Attleboro
The Martha’s Vineyard boys lacrosse team visited Attleboro, Tuesday, to take on the Bishop Feehan Shamrocks, and came home on the short end of an 8-6 final score.
Chris Costello had a hat trick. Both Charlie Everett and Leif Iverson scored once and assisted twice. Huck Burke’s goal was his first of the season.
The Vineyard’s record stands at 4-5, 1-1 in the EAC.
Parzenese persists
We missed it. Maybe you did too. But Peter and Linda Ferrini didn’t. They watched former Vineyard high school lacrosse star, Edison Parzenese help undefeated Notre Dame (9-0) defeat Providence College at the Rhode Island school, 14-3, in heavy rain.
Edison scored twice and saw another scoring bid hit the post. At one point, Peter reports, the Friars put two defenders on Edison, but Edison outran them and scored anyway.
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? When he was at MVRHS, Edison was virtually unstoppable.
This coming Saturday Notre Dame, ranked first in the nation, plays fourth-ranked Syracuse. Should be quite a game!
Edison will soon be awarded a Masters degree in Business Administration by Notre Dame, (MBA).
Rain-soaked U-14s win
The Under-14 Boys’ Travel Soccer team played a strong Fall River team in Saturday’s heavy rain at Tisbury’s Veterans Park.
In the opening minutes of the game, the Fall River keeper bobbled the wet ball and Lee Faraca seized the opportunity, passed to Gabe DeOliveira who found the net just over the goalie’s head. Aggressive play continued despite the miserable conditions but at the final whistle it was M.V. 1, Fall River 0.
The Islanders are 4-0 on the season.
