Pinkerton backed up its regular season victory over Goffstown in the best way possible, bouncing the second seed from the Class L tourney with a 5-3 victory. As in the April matchup, a late-game explosion — this time a three-run sixth inning — did the trick as sophomore Brandon Rodgers' second double of the game drove in a pair for the No. 15 Astros.

Branden Rodgers' 3-run triple sparked Pinkerton to a 6-5 victory over Alvirne. Steven Curry added a pair of RBIs for the Astors (8-10) who own a key tiebreaker over the Broncos (8-10).

Senior shortstop Tyler Pacheco had all three RBIs, including two in the bottom of the seventh as Pinkerton edged Bishop Guertin 3-2.

Jake Finnegan was a run-producing machine as Londonderry pounced on Pinkerton, 12-5. The senior had an RBI double in the first inning, a two-run single in the second, a run-scoring base hit in the third and a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Sophomore Dan Kinnon had two doubles and two RBIs while winning pitcher Geoff Fisher added a triple.

Derek Bird allowed just a single hit in a five-inning complete game, striking out seven as Pinkerton bested Winnacunnet 11-1.

Continuing his athletic excellence on the baseball diamond, Zach Mathieu came within a single of the cycle, driving in four runs including a two-run homer as part of Pinkerton's five-run, game-tying sixth inning. However, Nashua South erupted for six in the top of the seventh to secure a 14-10 victory.

DERRY, N.H. - Read the scouting report?

Heck, P.J. Singster helped write the darn thing.

A summer with more than a handful of Pinkerton Astros as a member of the Derry Legion team paid huge dividends for Singster and Timberlane Regional in the Class L opener.
