WRENTHAM, Mass. – King Philip was in the driver's seat the entire time.
The No. 8 Warriors had a 2-0 lead on No. 9 Walpole in the top of the third inning. With runners on the corners and one out, Kevin Heine (Wrentham, Mass.) belted an RBI double to dead-center field, making it 3-0 and lighting the spark for a six-run inning.
RBI singles for Johnny Prater (Norfolk, Mass.) and Vinny Menendez (Wrentham, Mass.) blew the game open, extending the lead to 6-0. A two-RBI single for Alex Lutfy (Wrentham, Mass.) made it 8-0.
From there, KP never looked back, tacking on two more runs in both the fourth and the sixth as they staved off some late offense from the Timberwolves en route to a 12-4 win. We highlight six standouts from the top 10 clash below.
