Coach Tom Brant said it was his team's biggest victory in four years.
Marblehead Little Leaguers exploded for five runs in the top of the seventh to beat Lynn in the opening game of the annual Gallant Tourney in Salem on Thursday. The team coupled aggressive baserunning with timely hitting to break the 3-3 tie in the final frame. Highlights included hard hits by Stephen Pappas and Thomas Brant and an NFL-worthy sidestep by Ben McCarthy at home plate. Ben eluded the Lynn catcher's tag at home to score a run and propel the rally. Henry Billings threw 6 1/3 innings and was relieved by Mark Karass. Marblehead next takes the field on Saturday at 4 pm against Swampscott.

The Marblehead boys narrowly missed a shot at the tournament playoffs, ending up the odd team out of a three-way tie breaker.
The Marblehead 9-Year-Old All-Stars played strong baseball in the Wyoma Tournament, which was held at Gowdy Memorial Playground in Lynn between July 8 and Aug. 2. The boys compiled a 6-1 record, outscoring their opponents 70-23, which landed them in a three-way tie for first place. Also finishing the tournament with 6-1 records were Wakefield and the host team, the Wyoma Blue. Little League Tournament Rules define a certain process for determining which teams will move into the playoffs during these sorts of ties. The first step is to compare the team's head-to-head matches. In this instance, each of the team's one loss came against one of the other, so this makes this ruling impossible. The second process, used if the head-to-head scale …

In only four innings, the Marblehead 9-year-old All Stars dispatched the boys from Lynnfield 15-2 in their last Wyoma Tournament game before the playoffs.
The 9-year-old All-Stars from Marblehead have been playing very tight baseball in the Wyoma Tournament. They had a very tough, error filled 12-4 loss to host Wyoma, which was followed by a hard-fought 4-2 win over previously undefeated Wakefield over the weekend. The game Monday night, on Sawyer field at Gowdy Memorial Playground against Lynnfield, was a much more controlled contest. Marblehead controlled the tempo, in their last game before the tournament playoffs, and took the victory in a 15-2 four inning "mercy rule'" shortened game. The local boys came out in the top of the first inning with their first four batters scoring. Jacob Garfield led off with a walk and he quickly stole second base. Eli Cohen moved Garfield to third with a …

In their closest win yet, the all-stars move into a three-way tie for first place in the Wyoma Tournament.
Coming off of their first loss in the Wyoma Tournament, the Marblehead 9-Year-Old All-Stars earned a hard-fought 4-2 victory over previously undefeated Wakefield on Saturday at Gowdy Memorial Playground in Lynn. Coach Mark Cohen was pleased his team "played error-free ball against a very good team," after their error-filled 12-6 loss to the Wyoma Blue Wednesday. Marblehead scored their first two runs early in the game, as Chris Gally drove in Eli Cohen with an RBI-double and Jake Miller returned the favor with an RBI-single that plated Gally in the bottom of the first inning. Wakefield responded in the second, scoring a run of their own on a Michael McKean double and an infield RBI-grounder from Brian McGonagle. On the mound, Jake Nardone …

The Marblehead boys lost their first game of the Wyoma Tournament to the host team 12-6.
The wins had been coming easy to the Marblehead 9-year-old All-Stars, but on Wednesday they fell into a hitting slump and lost their first game of the Wyoma Tournament. The local boys fell to the host team, the Wyoma Blue, 12-6 on Sawyer Field at Gowdy Memorial Playground in Lynn. Both teams struggled at the plate in the beginning, as the game's first hit didn't come until the fourth inning. Charlie Young started the game on the mound for Marblehead, and pitched a solid 1-2-3 first inning. Wyoma was able to score two runs in the second inning though, as Christian Burt and James Wilkins reached home on a combination of walks, passed balls, and Marblehead fielding errors. Eli Cohen relieved Young in the second and was able to strikeout …
