Banner Correspondent

Starting pitcher Cody Silva, the ace of the squad, struck out 19 batters and walked only one against South Shore Christian Academy in Weymouth on Wednesday, but two runs in the bottom of the seventh by SSCA tied the score at five.

Catcher Leo Rose scored on a Jared King single in the top of the 11th, but a two-out two-run homer gave SSCA a 7-6 victory. For more on this story
