The 12-year-old baseball team was advanced in the EMass Cal Ripken Tournament Saturday. They won 6-5 against Chelmsford in extra innings.
After finding themselves down 5-0 in the final inning, Burlington's 12-year-old baseball team made a rally of rallies. The team tied the game in the sixth inning and forced extra-innings. The game went into a seventh inning, and in a very close play, Burlington slid home safely to score a sixth run. Chelmsford, in a heartbreaking loss, was unable to respond, thus the game ended with Burlington advancing to the state finals of the Cal Ripken tournament against Raynham. “To be up five runs and have Burlington come back and score five runs is disappointing, but the kids battled to the end,” said Head Coach Levesque. The first several innings were uneventful, as neither Chelmsford nor Burlington made any big moves. Josh Roberge was hit in …

Burlington will play Quincy Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Revere.
The Burlington 10-year-old Cal Ripken baseball team lost 3-0 Tuesday to Dedham, its first loss of the state tournament, but will look to rebound in the double-elimination tourney Wednesday against Quincy. "[Quincy is] a good team. They've always had a pretty good program," Burlington manager Bill Waisnor said.

"They were just firing fastballs." Impemba allowed one run in three innings of work, and Ghio allowed two runs in three innings on the hill. Burlington fell behind 1-0 in the first inning, but Impemba escaped a jam with a strikeout and a routine grounder to end …
