The coolest moment of the season happened just prior to the first pitch today. Our 8 seniors were surprised by their dads with one last game of catch at their last home game.
Please consider joining us next Sunday - April 28 - at

Lots of thoughts and feelings right now. I’ll keep it simple. Thank you Will Hunter, Conor Crowley, Patrick Cowhig & Matt Pellegrino. You will always be part of the Masco Baseball Family.
Two year captain. Heart and soul of the program. Fierce competitor that never let anything stand in his way. Proved his toughness and ability the first time he stepped on the field at Masco. There is no replacing the kind of gamer he is. He will continue his career at St. Anselm
Huge congratulations to NEC MVP Sean Moynihan who was also selected as a Boston Herald All-Scholastic, as well as a Boston Globe All-Scholastic. Hard work pays off!
Masco advances to the North Final. Gets a win over Danvers 7-1. Z was nails. Big at-bats from Cote, Grass, Kal, & Aldrich. Dempsey continues to impress behind the plate.
A HUGE congratulations goes out to Coach Dup and his wife Alyssa on the birth of their beautiful daughter Aurora Grace Duplissie. She is an amazing addition to the Masco Baseball Family.
Having lost an entire season last spring - we can tell you that any kind of a season is better than nothing. Let these kids play this Fall. Let them be with their teammates. Let them compete. Let them overcome adversity together.
They might be challenging, but sports are challenging, thats what makes it fun. Also remember this is about much more than the game and rules. If the student-athletes get to play it is win for everyone these days.
A HUGE congrats to Joel Brierley for being named Head Baseball Coach at Amesbury HS. Great baseball mind, teacher and person. Big part of Masco success over last 4 yrs. Amesbury and CAL extremely lucky to have him. Good luck Coach.
Andrew Manni tosses a no hitter in his first career start. 12 Ks. Masco beats N’port 1-0. Dash with the single to score Manni in the 4th. Back at it tomorrow at Pentucket at 10am.
Varsity wins the opener over Classical 6-2. Will Hunter the win on the mound and solid day at the plate. Kalapinski, M. Aldrich, Zenus and Cantalupo all chipping in. Sibbach solid in the 7th
Congratulations to Will Hunter who was named to the CAL 1st team, and Patrick Costigan & Aaron Zenus who were named to the CAL 2nd team. Well deserved!
Masco loses 2-1 in a really well played high school tournament game. Donnelly was excellent, as was the defense behind him. Can’t say enough about these boys. Thank you Logan, Braeden, Luke & Jacob.
The entire Masco program was honored and humbled to have Garrett LaFata and Masco 7th grader Luke Kelly on hand to throw out the first pitch.

@MattWilliams_SN
We need to do everything in our power to provide a post season experience for our student-athletes this spring. There is a notion out there that kids would become disinterested if the tournament went into July. Has anyone actually asked the kids about this?!

PATRICK COWHIG
A total dirt dog. He came off of the field every day covered in hard work. It was an indication of the effort and hustle he put in. Whether blocking balls behind the plate-or running head first into the backstop for a pop up, nothing was going to stand in his way
Congrats to REB Player Development Client 2019 Pat Costigan
@Masco_Baseball

Great piece with Will Hunter here. One of the toughest competitors we’ve ever had. Don’t let him fool you - he’s had a lot of input in the “style” of Masco baseball.
Thank you to all of the Little Leaguers (and their parents & coaches) who came out to run the bases before the game today. It was the biggest turnout we’ve ever had. A great way to start Senior day.

March 30 is the date. We need to do all that we can to safely prepare for the season. Let’s be ready. This is something we have never had to deal with. It is how we respond that people will remember.

Tom Arria "If you're telling me that as the athletic director in Cambridge my kids are going to be in a state championship, and that means we're going into July, I'm going to be there for it and I'm pretty sure my kids are going to be there for it."
The kind of guy every coach wants on his team. He doesn’t care what position he plays or where he hits in the order. Conor just wants to do whatever he can to help the team. Versatile, talented, and coachable. The epitome of Masco baseball. Good luck at Merrimack in the Fall.
Brought a little yoga, mobility work, and dynamic stretching to the field with us today. Supremely important to take care of our bodies so our bodies take care of us.
