Redmen Bats Silenced In Opening Loss to Wilmington

Tewksbury baseball loaded the bases in the top of the seventh, but eventually fell to the Wildcats, 3-1, in its opening tilt of the year.

With first pitch at 10 a.m. on Monday, the Wilmington baseball team’s bats woke up early. Unfortunately for Tewksbury High School, their bats didn’t follow suit. Tewksbury batters struck out 15 times in their season opener as the Redmen couldn’t bounce back after the Wildcats took a 3-0 first inning lead. Despite the sluggish start, the Redmen found themselves with the opportunity to escape with a win late in the game. Tewksbury put on two runners in the sixth inning and loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh inning, but couldn’t push home the tying runs. “We left too many guys on base and struck out too many times,” said head coach Ron Drouin. “It wasn’t a train wreck. We’ve played a lot worse baseball games and won, and we’ve …

After a surprising run to the Division 2 semifinals in their first varsity season, the team graduates zero seniors.

The Tewksbury-Methuen girls hockey team surprised just about everyone on the high school scene with this year’s run to the Division 2 semifinal round – even themselves. In the team’s first every varsity season, the locals came out of the gates with a 2-0-2 mark to beging the regular season. It was at that point that head coach Kim Bruff said her players realized just what could be to come. “At the beginning of the season we didn’t know what we’d have. We wanted to be a competitive team, but being a first year program we had a lot to catch up on,” said Bruff. “I think initially the girls were like ‘Whoa. I thought we were going to get slaughtered.’ So when that happened, they gained a little confidence that they knew they could compete here…
