MANCHESTER – With eight swings and misses since 2013, the state baseball tournament has not been kind to Pinkerton Academy’s program.

In Saturday afternoon’s title game, the second-seeded Astros had another crack at border-rival nemesis Londonderry, which knocked off Pinkerton each of the previous two tournaments and half of those eight years including the 2014 championship match.

Pinkerton's Jacob Spezzaferri, Alex LeBlanc and Luke Brennan teamed with Nicholas Harrington to win the 4x400 (3:35.02) and Matthew Devine to win the 4x100 (44.02) at the Londonderry Invitational. Salem's Aidan McDonald was third in the 200 (22.66) and fourth in the 100 dash (11.37).

Briana Danis remained undefeated in the discus with a winning 122-9 and added a win in the shot put (36-4) to lead Pinkerton at the Londonderry Invitational. Emily Plante led Salem, taking second in the 100 hurdles (16.28) and third in the 300 hurdles (49.05).

Hailey Schinder and Allison Lamphere each scored five goals as Pinkerton rolled past archrival Londonderry 15-4 on Monday. Caitlin Seleney added four assists for the winners.
