Dragons Down Harbormen

Duxbury - Duxbury exacted a measure of revenge against Hingham on Thursday with a convincing 10-2 victory at Chandler Field. Duxbury scored 3 quick runs in the first inning and scored in every inning except the second. The Harbormen managed just 5 hits against Duxbury starter Steve Blout who last year failed to make it out of the second inning against Hingham when he was tagged for 10 quick runs. Junior Alex Pompeo drove home Hingham's first run of the game with an RBI double in the 6th. Jake McGuiggan would later drive him in with a sacrifice fly. David Hogan led the way for Hingham with 3 hits while Eric Sherman collected the other Harbormen hit. Hingham falls to 3 and 2 in the Patriot League while Duxbury improves to 4 and 1.

Harbormen Offense Comes to Life

Hingham - The Harbormen pounded out 10 hits en route to an impressive 12-5 win over Whitman-Hanson Wednesday to improve to 3 and 1 on the young season. Sophomore lefty Rob Madden fired 5 strong innings giving up just 1 run on 6 hits while striking out 8 to pick up his second win in as many starts. Sophomore Sean Greene got the final 6 outs in his varsity pitching debut. Tri-captain Jake McGuiggan paced the offense going 3-for-4 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI. Senior Andrew Pompeo had 2 hits, including a double. Hingham will get right back to work tomorrow when they travel to Duxbury for their final game before travelling to Florida for April vacation.

Anything But Smooth Sailing For The Harbormen

Scituate - Anything that could go wrong for Hingham Baseball yesterday did as the Scituate Sailors slapped the Harbormen with a 7-4 loss. Scituate snapped a scoreless tie in the third when David Padrigui singled to left scoring Brian Collins. Scituate (3-1, 2-0) scored in the next inning on a 2 out infield error. Hingham (2-1, 2-1) loaded the bases in the top of the first with no one out, but Scituate starter Jordan Jenkins proceeded to strikeout the next 3 batters to leave them loaded. Kevin Zyrkowski started on the hill and was in control of the game before being forced out after 3 innings with a strained groin. Junior David Hogan started at short in place of Jake McGuiggan, who was the DH yesterday to give his throwing arm some rest. In the 2nd inning, Hogan was knocked out of the game when a ground ball took a bad bounce and hit him in the nose. Early indications are that he will be alright and could be back as soon as Wednesday when the Harbormen play host to Whitman-Hanson.

Hingham Hands Silver Lake A Madden(ing) Day

Hingham - Sophomore left hander Rob Madden shut down a potent Silver Lake lineup Thursday to record his first varsity win and lead Hingham to a 9-2 win in the home opener. Senior Andrew Pompeo went 3-for-4 with 3 RBI and 3 runs scored while fellow senior Eric Sherman also drove in 3 runs going 2-for-4. Senior tri-captain Kevin Zyrkowski continued to swing a hot bat collecting 2 more hits. Hingham's other two captains also made significant contributions as Jake McGuiggan reached base 4 times and scored each time. Nick Albert made a tremendous catch in left that saved a couple of runs and prevent Silver Lake from potentially posting a big inning. He also forced a key error by the Lakers with excellent hustle on a 2-out ground ball. Madden was the story for the Harbormen though as he baffled Silver Lake with his wide array of pitches. He gave up just 3 hits and one earned run over 5 solid innings. Junior David Hogan worked two scoreless innings to close out the game. The Harbormen, who improve to 2 and 0, are back in action at Scituate on Monday.

Plenty of K's for Z in season opening win

North Quincy - Senior captain Kevin Zyrkowski took a perfect game into the 5th when North Quincy got its first base runner with one out in the inning on an infield error but that did not fluster the crafty righty who went the distance on a 3 hitter to lift the Hingham Harbormen to an impressive 14-3 season opening win. Junior David Hogan sparked the offense going 4-for-5 with 3 runs scored and 2 RBI. Senior captain Jake McGuiggan went 2-2 with 2 walks while Eric Sherman and Zyrkowski also had 2 hits apiece for the Harbormen, who had 16 hits in the game. Zyrkowski was sensational on the hill going the distance on a 3 hitter and giving up just 3 unearned runs. He also struck out 7. Hingham will face one of the league's top teams tomorrow when they play host to Silver Lake at Cronin Field in Hingham.
