The Marblehead High School athletic department enjoyed a productive stretch last week, with its baseball, softball, girls lacrosse and boys tennis teams all registering wins that bolstered their season standings.
The baseball squad, now sitting at 8‑7, opened the week with a 6‑0 victory over Peabody, a result that capped a season series in which the team had dropped both meetings with Gloucester.
The softball team rolled past the same opponent by a 13‑1 margin, a performance that has positioned the squad for a potential berth in the Division 2 state tournament.
The girls lacrosse team posted two identical 16‑4 triumphs over Danvers and Gloucester, improving its NEC record to 5‑5 and overall mark to 6‑8, underscoring a competitive spirit despite a middling win‑loss ledger.
Tennis Teams' Streak and Setback
The boys tennis team extended its winning streak to five matches, defeating both Malden Catholic and Salem to improve to 10‑2, while the girls tennis team saw its seven‑match streak halted by a 5‑0 loss to Newburyport, though they had previously downed Salem.
Key contributors shone throughout the week; Greyson Leventhal supplied half of his team’s six hits in the Gloucester game, and Yanzel Fuentes delivered a complete‑game shutout on the mound, highlighting the depth of talent across the programs.
Coaches and players alike are looking ahead to upcoming matchups, confident that the momentum built in recent games will carry them through the remainder of the season.
