• Chase Silva struck out 17 batters as the right-handed pitcher led Pirates 14U Baseball team past East Bridgewater, 6-3, on Monday, July 28 at Hull High School. Silva gave up four hits and three runs over seven innings while walking five. The Pirates got on the board in the first inning after Nikko Mihal was struck by a pitch, driving in a run. A triple by Silva extended the Pirates’ lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the third inning. In the bottom of the fifth, the Pirates broke up a tie when Christian Silva doubled, scoring two runs. Then a steal of home by Silva followed to extend the lead to 6-3. Silva and Silva were tough to handle back-to-back in the lineup, as each drove in two runs for Pirates. Dom Ramos and Silva each collected two hits for the Pirates. Silva threw two immaculate innings for Pirates, where the pitcher struck out the side on nine pitches. Jayden Sheets and Silva each stole multiple bases for the Pirates, who ran wild on the base paths, piling up seven stolen bases for the game.

The Pirates lost a heartbreaker in Duxbury, 8-7, in their first loss of summer league. Christian Silva went 3 for 4 with two doubles. Chase Silva, Nick Mihal, Dom Ramos, Alex Provost, Mackie Concannon, and Shaine Hutcheson had hits. Shaine also made two run saving catches in left field.

The Pirates added to their early lead in the top of the third inning after Chase Silva tripled down the left field line, and Nikko Mihal singled down the left field line, each scoring one run.

Duxbury flipped the game on its head in the bottom of the fourth, scoring five runs on three hits to take the lead, 7-5. The biggest blow in the inning was an inside-the-park grand slam by #12 that drove in four.

Hull tied the game at seven in the top of the fifth, thanks to two ground outs. Dom Ramos started on the bump for Pirates. The starting pitcher gave up seven hits and seven runs (three earned) over four innings, striking out two and walking three. #35 stepped on the mound first for Duxbury. The pitcher gave up eight hits and five runs (three earned) over three innings, striking out six and walking none. Mihal, Ramos, Silva, Goodrich, and Hutcheson each drove in one run for the Pirates.

Next up was a loss to Silver Lake, 11-6. A leadoff home run by Jayden Sheets put Pirates on the board in the bottom of the first. Evan Doyle and Jacob Goodrich each collected two hits. Doyle, Gavin Griffin, Sheets, and Goodrich each drove in one run. Mackie Concannon, playing right field, somehow ended up tagging out a runner going to second base.

The boys finished the season with a record of 8-2. Playoffs are up next.

• Two Hull High Girls Lacrosse players were named to the All-Scholastic team by The Patriot Ledger last week. Erin Walsh, a junior midfielder, was named to the first team, while senior attack Elly Thomas made the second team. Walsh, a three-time South Shore League All-Star, had a team-high 78 goals for the 10-9 Pirates this season. She added 74 draw controls and 30 caused turnovers. With 244 career points, she is on pace to become the all-time leading scorer for the Pirates. “She has a passion for the sport that is unmatched on our squad,” coach Dan Dahill said. Thomas, a team captain, led the Pirates in assists this season and has notched 254 career points. “Elly played hard all season, working through an ankle injury,” Dahill said, calling her “one of the most competitive athletes I’ve ever coached.”

• At the Hull Yacht Club, 11 boats came out to the line on Thursday, July 24, with wind gusts topping out just above 30 m.p.h. on choppy seas. Clean lanes, speed through the chop, playing the traveler, hiking hard and keeping the boat as flat as possible were some of the keys to success. The skippers and crew of Sweep, Rhode Runnah and Mermaid Hunter showed great consistency throughout the evening, and the Hull YC RC got in three races under tough conditions On Saturday, July 26, it was a totally different scenario for the Fleet 46 Anniversary Regatta, as wind speeds hovered around 10 m.p.h. before dying out late in the afternoon. Five boats armed with spinnakers came out for battle. The Hull RC was able to get in three races before the wind died, sending the fleet home for the coffee house, Hull Lifesaving Museum’s Illumination and post-race snacks and awards on the porch.

Congratulations to Patrick and Doug on Mermaid Hunter (2-1-1), and David and Peter on Rhode Runnah (1-2-3) for securing first and second place for the day, respectively. Clare, Jim, and Carly on Wild Irish Rhodes (3-3-2) earned third-place overall and first mark honors in the third race.

On Thursday, July 31, a combined night saw 14 Hingham and Hull boats on the line, with flat water, a northeast breeze in the 10-15 knot range, and a few 18 knot gusts thrown in. Razzmatazz and roger that! battled it out all night with tacking and jibing duels in front of the fleet that entertained the crowd. JP Hnath took the helm of Tommy Craig’s El Packo in the final race of the evening and finished in second place. The consistency award went to Bill Bradford on Full Circle, turning in triple threes.
