Everett Baseball bounces back with 16-3 win over Chelsea

  Malden High Baseball got off to its best start in years with a pair of wins to open the season, over Salem Academy Charter and Everett High on the road. Adding in Wednesday’s walk-off win over Somerville, it is a 3-0 start for the Golden Tornados squad.

  In the season opener on March 30, the earliest regular-season game ever for Malden High and the first time a game was ever played in March, Malden topped visiting Salem Academy Charter, 12-2, at Pine Banks Park. This was also the first game of the Second Annual Golden Tornado Club First Pitch Classic. Malden will host Chelsea High in the Championship Game on Monday at 3:30 p.m. at Pine Banks Park.

  Senior captain Brandon McMahon (1-0) went most of the way for the win on the mound, striking out 10 in five innings and allowing just one hit. McMahon also went two-for-three at the plate with three RBI to pace the Malden offense.

  Leading the way offensively for Malden was junior co-captain Ezechiel Noelsaint, who had his best day ever as a Tornado. Noelsaint went three-for-three, including a three-run homer, with five stolen bases and five RBI. Senior Tim Melton and two junior co-captains, Ryan Coggswell and Jake Simpson, all had two hits and two RBI for Malden.

Coggswell and Brett pace offense in 14-4 win over Tide

  Freshman righthander Ryan McMahon made his varsity debut on the mound a memorable one, throwing a one-hitter with five strikeouts in a 14-4 win over the host Everett Crimson Tide at Glendale Park in Everett.

  Teammates Aidan Brett, a sophomore, and co-captain Ryan Coggswell paced the offense. Brett had a two-for-three day with four RBI and two runs scored. Coggswell went three-for-three with a run scored and three RBI. Senior Tim Melton had two hits.

  Malden scored seven runs in the first inning and added five more in the second inning to jump out to a 12-0 lead. Everett cut it down when the Crimson Tide scored a run in the second inning when Nick Santana drew a walk and scored on a Malden infield error. Everett added two more runs in the second inning when Vega walked, Antonio Santana walked and both scored on an infield error by Malden. Pinch hitter Gilbert hit a ground ball off the third base bag in the bottom of the fifth for the Tide’s only hit.

Everett evens its record with win over Chelsea Wednesday

  Head Coach Joel Levine’s Everett team evened its record at 1-1 (1-1 GBL) with a 16-3 win on the road at Chelsea High on Wednesday.

  The Tide has two more league games next week, playing both of the Lynn teams, hosting Lynn Classical at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, April 10 at Glendale Park. Next Wednesday, April 12, Everett is on the road at Lynn English at 4:00 p.m., at Breed Field in Lynn.
