HAVERHILL — After winning only one postseason game in the previous 23 years, it’s taken the Whittier baseball team only four days to double that total. And the Wildcats just keep advancing into unknown territory.

A first-inning error led to five Newburyport runs, a deficit Pentucket couldn't overcome in a 10-7 verdict. John Modlish had a home run and drove in three runs for the Sachems.

It's early, very early, in the Cape Ann League season, but not too early for Andrew Sinkewicz and the Georgetown to make a statement. The Royals senior right-hander silenced Newburyport with a 3-hit dazzler, striking out nine and walking just one in a 2-1 thriller. Down 1-0, the Royals scored twice in the fifth. With two outs, Ryan Browner scored on the back end of a first-and-third double steal with Chris Esposito to tie. Clipper killer Marco Luisi, who homered twice in the Division 3 North title game to beat the Port last June, then slapped an RBI single for the game-winner.
