Prep Champs ... Again

Phillips Academy, seeded fourth coming in, earned its second straight Central New England Prep Baseball title, sweeping Deerfield, 10-7, and Worcester Academy, 12-8, yesterday.

Connor Farrell's two-run triple sparked the opening win, helping sophomore Tim Salvadore to the victory.

Tufts-bound post grad Tim Superko showed his toughness in the championship nightcap, going the distance on a seven-hitter with five walks to take out Worcester Academy.

Worcester had swept the Big Blue in the regular season, but Andover wasn't about to be denied history yesterday.

Frosh John Simourian drove in three runs, as did Joey Verhaegh, whose bases-loaded double proved to be the key shot.

Phillips moves to 10-6, awaiting only rival Exeter this week.

Senior Rory Ziomek made a great senior memory for himself, tossing one-hit complete-game shutout for Phillips Andover to beat rival Phillips Exeter, 1-0. The Tufts-bound righty struck out 13 and walked one. David McCullough singled with two outs in the first, moved to third on an wild pickoff throw and scored on John Festa's RBI hit, plating the only run of the game. Exeter had won the opener of the doubleheader, 4-2.

Walkoff winner

Chris Hohlstein stepped to the plate in the bottom of the eighth and blasted a home run over the wall in center field, giving Phillips a 5-4 walkoff victory over Cushing Academy.
