In Monday's league game, the host Gloucester Fishermen baseball team scored a nice 13-0 victory over the Saugus Sachems.

The Fishermen (1-0) will now prepare for their game against Swampscott (Swampscott, MA). The Big Blue go into the non-league game with a 0-0 record. In their last game, Swampscott Saugus (Saugus, MA), 6-6, in a league game.

The Sachems (1-2) will now prepare for their game against Danvers (Danvers, MA). The Falcons go into the game with a 0-0 record.

The Sachems suffered their 2nd loss of the season and saw their record fall to 1-2-1. Mike Lichwala struggled in his second start of the season, only going 2 innings, allowing 6 runs on 8 hits and walking 6 batters. Kye Rizzo came in relief and looked good for 3 innings allowing only 1 run until the 6th when the wheels started to fall off for him. Rizzo threw 100 pitches in relief and looked strong for awhile as he struck out 6 batters and only giving up 2 hits. The story of the game was pitching and defense today and Saugus had neither. The sachems pitchers walked 14 batters, gave up 10 hits while the defense behind them committed 3 errors. At the plate the Sachems struck out 12 times and mustered only 3 hits, 2 by Shortstop Bobby Roberto. It's one game the Sachems would like to forget. Up next, Saugus will travel to Danvers on Wednesday, April 18th to play the Falcons. Joe Bertrand will get the start to hopefully turn this team around.
