DANVERS — St. John’s Prep kept their impressive season going Monday against a motivated rival.Senior attackman Jimmy Ayers sniped four goals and dished out two assists, while Harlan Graber added a hat trick himself as SJP pulled away in the second half for a critical 14-8 victory over Catholic Conference foe Xaverian.“We knew they were going to come out really strong,” said Ayers. “They’re always tough competition for us. They’re well-coached. I think we started off a little fast, then they caught up really quick. Gavin (Kornitsky) made some key saves. (Christopher Esposito) was doing well in the face-offs, and I think that’s what kind of settled us in, got us a comfortable lead. Then, we were able to rely on our team and my teammates to get the job done.”It wasn’t until the waning moments of the second quarter that St. John’s Prep (11-1) was able to kick things into full gear.

Billerica softballers move to 12-0

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 20:51:37 GMT

BILLERICA – For the first time in Patty Higgins’ 29 years as coach, the Billerica softball team is 12-0.Senior star pitcher Naomi Boldebuck dialed up 11 strikeouts as part of a three-hit shutout from the circle, pacing the Indians past another Merrimack Valley Conference power in an 8-0 win over Methuen (6-3) Monday afternoon. An ultra-aggressive baserunning display from the team sparked a three-run lead through the first three innings on only three hits and no RBI.Once the bats got going through Katherine Medeiros (2-for-3, two runs), Maggie Quin (RBI single) and Sam Gaona (two-run single, two runs), Billerica wore down Rangers pitcher Ilene Rickard to run away late with a dominant win.“There’s a group that’s been together for years, and they take it one game at a time,” Higgins said. “They respect their opponent, but they feel confident in themselves. They think, ‘If we use what we have, we’re in a good position to do something.’ I don’t think anyone has said, ‘Oh wow, we’re 12-0....

Mets split doubleheader with Braves after Francisco Alvarez carries team with 2 RBI in nightcap

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 20:51:37 GMT

Pitching help is on the way for the Mets, but it can’t come soon enough.The Mets split a pair of games with the Atlanta Braves on Monday at Citi Field, losing the series 2-1. In the first game, Denyi Reyes was shaky as the opener but in the second, Tylor Megill had a solid outing and Francisco Alvarez had a fantastic game behind the plate and at the plate.Calling up Reyes to make a start was always a gamble. There have always been questions about whether or not his stuff could play at the big league level and the Mets thought he possessed the traits to be able to start.Reyes (0-1) was used as an opener Monday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves and he put the Mets in a hole right away. The Mets were nearly able to overcome it, coming within one run of tying the game in the sixth inning and again with one in the ninth. But Sean Murphy hit his second home run of the game in the seventh inning off right-hander Jeff Brigham to doom the Mets in a 9-8 loss...

Red Sox notebook: Paxton to make one more rehab start, but decision day looms

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 20:51:37 GMT

What are the Red Sox going to do with James Paxton?That question has hung over the pitching staff ever since the 34-year-old lefty picked up his $4 million player option to remain with the club this past offseason. Paxton, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021, missed all of last season and suffered a hamstring injury early in spring training that delayed his progression.All told, Paxton has barely pitched since 2019 and it’s anyone’s guess how effective he’ll be once he does finally return to the mound in the big leagues.One way or the other, the Red Sox will have to make some kind of decision on him soon.According to a Red Sox source, Paxton will make his next start in Triple-A, putting him in line to start Friday for the Worcester Red Sox. It will be his sixth rehab appearance with Worcester since April 9.Under league rules rehab stints can last a maximum of 20 days for position players and 30 days for pitchers, so Paxton is eligible to remain on assignment u...
