Methuen High saw the potential bottom-of-the-seventh tying rally snuffed out by the toughest of tough calls - an appeal of a tag up at second base - and fell to Dracut, 7-6. With runners on second-and-third and no outs in the seventh, Chuck Prescott drove a deep sacrifice fly to make it 7-6 with a runner on third. But Dracut's appeal at second was awarded an out. "The runner was standing on the base, we all watched it. It was just a terrible, terrible call," said Ranger coach Dave Fabrizio. "The umpire said he never tagged up. Just terrible." Jared McAdam then followed with a single that would have tied it, but the Middies escaped further damage and prevailed.
