Needing a win in its last game, the Greater Lawrence baseball team slipped past a strong Mystic Valley team, 4-3, to qualify for the state tournament for the first time since 2007. The Reggies got a strong pitching performance from Oscar Reynoso, who allowed just four hits and struck out nine, and were led offensively by Angel Abreu, who had three doubles, including a two-run double in the four-run first.
Also, Jonathan Alvarez made a great play in left field in the sixth to trap a ball on a diving play and then got up to fire to the shortstop who relayed it home to nail what would have been the tying run.
"We lost our first four games but the kids worked hard to get here," said Greater Lawrence coach Kevin Maloney.
