Gavin and Layne lead Malden in comeback win over Revere to keep Tornado Baseball unbeaten at 8-0
Down 3-1 and also down to its last out, Malden High Baseball got a pair of clutch hits, scored three runs and snatched a win from the waste bin, 4-3, over Revere. The walk-off victory, sealed by a game-winning single by freshman Davante Layne, one of the leading hitters in the Greater Boston League, kept Malden’s winning streak alive, as the Golden Tornados went to 8-0.
Going back to last season, when Malden finished the year with 10 straight wins, the team has set a school record with 18 straight regular season victories.
Billy Gavin was the #1 star, as he lined a two-run double to left center to score two runs and tie the game at 3-3. Gavin also went the distance on the mound, scattering four hits and striking out 8 batters.
