Adding hits for "The Jewelers" were Brendan Smith, Michael Ashe, Drew Foskett, John Henry Johnson, and Bobby Beane with a double.

The Hingham Jewelers squad mounted a furious 6-run rally in the top of the 5th inning to tie the score 9-9. Hingham Jeweler's Bob Beane blasted a fastball over the left fielder's head for a clutch, bases clearing, 3-run triple and Jackson Bennis followed this up with a bases clearing 2-run triple.

Another well played , well pitched game between The Snug Mariners and The Hingham Jewelers on a crisp beautiful spring Sunday afternoon at Kress Field ended in a Snug victory with a 2 out walk-off
homerun by Jackie Robinson Santilli.
The Snug's dynamic duo of Greg 'big W' Williamson and Brendan 'big Red' Morris combined for 17 strikeouts. Hingham Jeweler pitchers the 'B' boys, Burke, Bennis and Beane were also impressive with 11 strikeouts, especially considering Beane and Bennis came off of no days rest having had 20 pitches the day before.
The Snug's ace Greg Williamson settled down quickly , from the 1st inning to the 4th inning struck out 9 out of 10 batters including 8 in a row. Closer Brendan 'big red' Morris was stellar striking out 8 of the 11 Jewelers he faced.
The Hingham Jewelers hitting came from the 'B' boys Beane and Burke , Beane scoring twice and ripping a 2 out double in the 4th which was immediately followed by Burkes 2nd double of the game. The patient Snug batters got big hits from Brendan Morris who had reached base his 1st nine plate appearences and 10 out 11 overall
(5 extra base hits and 2 singles during this period for 'Big Red')
The game had many stand out defensive plays from both sides but perhaps the key play was when Snug centerfielder rookie Mark' Mac' McNiskin tracked a sinking line drive in the 4th almost making a spectacular catch but just as importantly stopping the ball and making a quick throw to the infield saving what could have easily been a Homerun.

A very close game as the score indicates. Great pitching by Fisher who was almost unhittable. Luckily Bobby Beane and Carson Terres were able to keep the scoring down until Brendan Smith came in to absolutely shut the door. Luckily the " Farm Hills Lane Boys" also brought their bats, to drive in the tying run (Brendan Smith) and the winning run ( Michael Marchioni).

Turner got off to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first off solid hitting by Brendan O'Connor, Reese Linton, Ben Turner and Jack Costello. The Jewelers came back with one in the third off the bats of Brendan Smith, Bobby Beane and Andrew Burke - then, aganst very good pitching, the Jewelers staged a great comeback. They pulled ahead with a 4-2 lead in the top of the fifth. Big hits by Burke, Foskett (double), Bennis (double), Greene and C. Smith. With their backs against the wall in the bottom of the sixth, down 4-2, Turner's Jared Chipman walked and with two outs and two strikes - speedy Chris Edwards hit a line drive over the center fielders head and beat out a close play at home plate. Game tying Home Run! Andrew Burke recovered nicely recording 3-K's in the sixth for the Jewelers.

Playoff baseball at it's finest. Great pitchers duel. Sam Jenkins held the Jewelers at bay for as long as he could, leaving the game without giving up a run. Luckily Brendan Smith was equally up to the task, going 3 innings (59 pitches) without giving up any runs also. We go to the fourth inning and the Jewelers peck away and get a few timely hits to put two runs on the board by an Andrew Burke single. That would do it. Jackson Bennis would enter the game and hold the the lead. Stephen Cochrane was also throwing hard but the "Jewelers" got a timely hit.

Playoffs at it's finest. Hingham Jewelers were a very tough opponent. Congratulations to them on their season.

Great pitching by both teams. SSSB held a 1-0 lead on a almost over the fence double by Peter Murphy. Going into the top 5 with 2 on, Carson Terres smashes a 2 run triple giving Hingham Jewelers a 2-1 lead with SSSB batting bottom 5. With 2 on and 2 out, Will Vasque 2 run triple then going home on the overthrow to home made it 4-2. Kyle Letorney closed out the 6th.
