Congratulations to Lincoln, Nebraska, Post 500's @CarpetLandRugs on an impressive 9-6 victory for the @AmericanLegion World Series Championship. The Rugs did not lie down with a 6-1 deficit, coming back with two timely home runs and a gutsy relief outing, and earned the title.
Thanks again as always to the folks at @legionbaseball and @ALWS_Shelby for putting on another first class event. A packed Keeter Stadium made for a fitting atmosphere for a championship contest between two worthy teams.
Congratulations to @Post54baseball of Bedford, NH, on the @legionbaseball Northeast Regional Championship, and good luck as New England's representative at the @ALWS_Shelby for a second time. Kudos to @post397 on their usual great job hosting the regionals.
Congratulations to @CoachTPasq and Franklin Post 75 on an exciting extra inning win over a very good Milford team to win the 2026 Massachusetts State Championship, their third in six years. Way to represent District 6, and good luck in the Northeast Regional next week.
Special thanks and good luck to Nick Buckley, Rowan Daly, Garrett Falahee, Jonathan Francescone, Malik Ibrahim, Brendan McHugh, Alex Murdough, George Mutrie, Kyle Nahabedian, and Eli Warn, who completed their Legion eligibility.
Not the ending we wanted, but no qualms with the effort. A good pitching duel between our Will Cassidy and Franklin's Ethan Edmunds, and Franklin came out on top, 5-0, thus concluding our season. Congratulations to @CoachTPasq and good luck to Franklin in the state tournament.
Also, Post 14's junior team begins its playoff run tonight, with an 8:00 game at Dedham Post 18 at Memorial Field in Dedham. Good luck to the juniors.
This was Post 14's third no-hitter. The other two were by Leo Corcoran, July 2, 2003, a 3-1 win at Westwood, and Josh Gershman, August 7, 1995, an 11-0 win vs. Sandwich in the State Tournament at Lowell.
A no-hitter from Nick Buckley as Post 14 defeats Norwood, 7-0, to advance in the District Tournament. Nick struck out 6 in a dominant performance over a very good lineup. Joey Saratella with a two-run double and key hits from Brendan McHugh and David Ching accounted for the runs.
Next game is tonight, Monday, July 20, at @CoachTPasq's first-place Franklin Post 75, at Franklin High School at 8:00 pm.
Tonight’s game versus @Norwood_Post70 has been postponed due to inclement weather. It has been rescheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, July 19, at 7:30 pm at the Balch in Norwood.
Survive and advance. A gritty 5-3 win over a tough Foxboro team led by Joey Saratella starting three rallies with a triple, single, walk, and scoring three runs, and Alex Murdough going the distance with 11 strikeouts. Back at it tonight at @Norwood_Post70, 7:30 at the Balch.
Finished the regular season 11-5 and the second season begins tonight. First playoff game vs Foxboro @ALBPost93 tonight at Memorial Park at 7:30.
Also, we at Post 14 are very saddened to learn of the passing of Dan Ventura of the Boston Herald. Nobody did more for high school sports around here than Danny V. Still remember him covering us and District 6 for the old Daily Transcript in the 80s and 90s. May he rest in peace.
A doubleheader on tap Thursday at Memorial Park - first game at 5:30 vs Foxboro @ALBPost93, then 8:00 vs Weymouth @weypost79basebl.
Nice win tonight over a good Natick team, with Nick Buckley going the distance without allowing any hits over a shortened game, Colin O’Donnell going 3 for 3, and Brendan McHugh with two doubles. Record is 7-3 with six to play.
SCHEDULE UPDATE: Tonight's game vs. @MorrisetteBall has been moved to Todesca Field at Catholic Memorial High School in West Roxbury, due to wet field conditions in Needham. The game will now start at 5:45 pm.
