Hollis, n.h.
Perras came within two outs of a complete-game shutout, throwing Hanover on its way to a 4-2 win over Hollis Brookline for the Marauders’ first win of the young season. Moises Celaya locked down the victory by recording the final two outs after the Cavaliers (0-4) got on the scoreboard with a two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Perras, a sophomore, allowed five hits and the two runs over 6⅓ innings, striking out seven and walking only two on a 94-pitch afternoon. Hanover coach John Grainger admitted having a mind to keep Perras for the distance, but he was impressed in how well his starter threw regardless.
“He just had good command the whole day until the last inning,” Grainger said. “He struggled in the seventh; he was a bit tired. His curve ball was working well, and he was setting his pitches up. He fooled a lot of guys. They only had a couple of hard-hit balls.”
Hanover managed just three hits on the day, but used two of them to build a 3-0 lead after just a half-inning of play.
After two quick outs to start the game, Hanover’s Charlie Goodrich reached on an error, stole second base and scored on a Kegan Silovich RBI single. Celaya reached on another Hollis miscue, Marcus Hampers delivered an RBI single and the Marauders’ third run of the frame came home on another error.
Hanover made it 4-0 in the sixth. Goodrich singled, moved over on a Silovich sacrifice bunt, took third on an error and scored on a wild pitch.
Celaya picked up the save as Perras’ relief on the mound, allowing one hit and one walk while recording the final two outs. Hanover hosts the Cavaliers on Wednesday in Norwich.

Grenier and Alex Taylor both scored twice and Trey Theriault drove in a pair of runs for the Cards.
Although he took the loss, Devin Tetreault allowed just three earned runs over five innings of relief for Mascoma. Caleb McAlister accounted for the Royals’ run with an RBI double.

Pembroke 5, Lebanon 2
Pembroke, n.h.
The miscues doomed starting pitcher Derek Griffin despite a decent day on the rubber. Griffin tossed a complete game, fanning five with one walk, six hits and one hit batsman.
The errors, however, “were the difference,” Lebanon coach Doug Ashey said. “They made plays, and we didn’t.”
Griffin also went 2-for-3 with a double for the Raiders, and sophomore Tommy Berthasavage slapped his first varsity hit. Lebanon hosts Windham on Monday.
Stevens 13, Mascoma 1 (5)

Madison Lapsley and Morgan Rhoades combined on a two-hitter for the visitors, striking out six without a walk. Madison Ferland led the Stevens offense with two hits; Kate Chambers added a triple and Zoey Foote slapped a double for her first varsity hit. The Cards also played errorless defense.
Stevens heads to Newfound on Wednesday. Mascoma (0-2) visits Fall Mountain on Monday.
Woodsville 6Moultonborough 5
Woodsville
Down by a run, Morgan Wagstaff singled to center field and moved to second base on a wild pitch to start the winning rally. After Suzy Bazzell walked, Prest delivered a single to right to score Wagstaff. When the Panthers overthrew home plate trying to catch Wagstaff, Bazzell raced home with the game-winning run.
“We got ahead, which was good, and Moultonborough battled back, which we expected,” Woodsville coach Dana Huntington said. “To come back and win in the bottom of the seventh, that’s always a great way to do it.”
Prest threw a complete-game eight-hitter for the win. The Woodsville pitcher struck out seven, walked one and surrendered three earned runs.
The Engineers visit Colebrook on Monday.

Jackson Township, n.j.
Much of the field struggled early with 40-degree temperatures and a 15 mph wind, but Roddy and Kittleberger rebounded well. Roddy shot 5 over par on the front nine before leveling out at 5-over 77 for the round, good for a share of fourth. Kittelberger had double bogeys on two of her first three holes, but she eventually settled down for a 6-over 78 to tie for eighth.
Dartmouth shot 29-over 317 as a team on Friday. Brown owns a six-shot lead on Harvard and seven-stroke edge on Princeton at the championship, which continues through Sunday.
Dartmouth Sixth at Ivies

Liu started well with a birdie on the 511-yard, par-five first hole, but it would prove to be one of just two birdies on the day for the Big Green as a team. Liu is tied for 19th, six strokes behind Penn’s Mitchell Cornell, the tournament leader (2-over 72).
Yale leads after a team 300 to open the three-day tourney. Penn is a shot back, Cornell is three off the pace. Dartmouth shot a team 317 on Friday.
