The Cambridge Rindge and Latin School baseball team continued its dominant run, stretching the winning streak to eight games with hard‑fought wins over St. John’s Prep, Bedford and Boston Latin Academy. The victories lifted the team to ninth place in the MIAA Division I Power Rankings, underscoring the program’s steady rise this season.
A busy week across multiple sports
While the baseball squad celebrated, the school’s other athletic programs saw a mix of triumphs and setbacks. The softball team dropped two close contests, first to Bedford and then to Acton‑Boxborough, while the girls’ lacrosse side fell to Westford Academy and Bedford but managed a narrow 11‑10 win over Boston Latin Academy. The boys’ lacrosse team reversed the trend, defeating Bedford 11‑6 after a loss to Westford.
Track and field athletes also made their mark at the MSTCA Coaches Metro Invitational, where Liam Eldridge captured first place in the 800‑meter run. Naomi Baldwin followed with strong showings, finishing fifth in the 400‑meter dash and sixth in the 200‑meter dash, highlighting the breadth of talent across the school’s athletic roster.
Key individual performances
Several players delivered standout performances that helped shape the week’s results. Hugo Davis powered the baseball offense with two hits and three RBIs against St. John’s Prep, while Stefan Alexandrov combined pitching excellence — a three‑hit shutout versus Bedford — with a timely RBI. Oliver Henke’s six‑inning shutout against Boston Latin Academy, punctuated by nine strikeouts, anchored the team’s dominant display.
In softball, Eleanor Holleran went 3‑for‑4 against Bedford, and Marin Albrecht’s home run sparked the team’s effort in the loss to Acton‑Boxborough. The girls’ lacrosse squad saw Maude Ullmann record her 200th career save in the narrow defeat to Boston Latin Academy, a milestone that added a bright note to an otherwise challenging game.
The boys’ volleyball team split its recent matches, falling to Wayland and Newton South before rebounding with a 3‑1 victory over O’Bryant. Brennan Loud’s 13 kills in the loss to Wayland and 17 kills against Newton South highlighted his consistent offensive contribution.
The girls’ tennis team fell to Bedford and Acton‑Boxborough but secured wins in doubles competition, while the boys’ tennis squad endured 5‑0 defeats against both Acton‑Boxborough and Bedford, illustrating the competitive depth across the school’s racket sports.
