The senior southpaw struck out six of the first eight batters she faced before allowing a single in the third inning, yielding a total of three hits and two walks. Rossi has amassed 51 strikeouts while allowing four hits over 21 shutout innings in three tournament wins.
With junior first baseman Julianna Cappiello (concussion) out, Tewksbury (19-4) did well to press Rossi during the latter innings, but Bedford built an insurmountable cushion when Audrye Dumaio and Sobol smacked RBI singles during a three-run fifth inning.
'They can hit,' Walsh said of Tewksbury. 'They did it all year. They can hit everybody. We expected hits, and we actually said, 'Let's prevent doubles and triples.' We were [playing] a little deeper than usual today and a couple fell in there, but we'll take a couple scattered singles, especially with the lead.'

Seven high school sports takeaways from an action-packed Sunday featuring the Meet of Champions and more
The lowest seed remaining? No. 21 Bishop Fenwick girls' tennis, which will face top-seeded Dover-Sherborn in the Division 3 semifinal Tuesday at Newton North. The highest seed eliminated? It's a four-way tie. Three No. 1 seeds have been knocked out in the baseball brackets (D1's Taunton, D3's St. Mary's, and D5's Turners Falls), but only one other No. 1 seed has fallen across all sports and divisions: Boston Latin girls' tennis, which was knocked out of the Division 1 tourney by eighth-seeded Winchester.

Softball: No. 10 Greater New Bedford in D3. Baseball: No. 14 Chelmsford in D1. Why didn't you include boys' volleyball or rugby? Because both volleyball divisions and all three rugby divisions (boys and girls) went to chalk, with only the top seeds still standing. Most semifinals get started Tuesday, with a few boys' tennis semis on Monday, plus the final six quarterfinal matchups, three of which are suspended games that will be resumed. Now onto Sunday's results, including the 1. Reading list 2.

And in the bottom of the eighth, Nate Vitarisi provided the walkoff single in a 2-1 Division 2 quarterfinal win.

Four stars Three performances mirrored each other, but we also couldn't leave out Wayland's star hitter, so we decided to add a star. Kiley Hogan , Tyngsborough — The junior got the Tigers started right with a two-run homer in the first inning, then pitched a complete game, allowing one earned run while striking out nine without issuing a walk as the Tigers topped AMSA, 3-2, in the Division 4 softball quarterfinals.

Red Sox hit 5 home runs and overcome 2 by Judge in 11-7 win over Yankees
NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Narváez put Boston ahead with a three-run homer against his former team, and the Red Sox overcame two home runs by Aaron Judge in an 11-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday night. Rafael Devers also went deep as Boston equaled a season high with five longballs to take two of three games at Yankee Stadium in the first series this season between the longtime rivals. Narváez signed with the Yankees in 2015 and broke into the big leagues with them last year, getting into six games before New York traded him to Boston in December. The rookie catcher gave the Red Sox a 5-3 lead in the sixth inning by lifting a fastball from Carlos Rodón (8-4) into the left-field seats. Judge hit a pair of two-run homers for his fourth multihomer game this season and the 43rd of his career. He connected in the first off rookie Hunter Dobbins (3-1) and again in the ninth, ending the night with a .396 batting average. Boston rookie Kristian Campbell hit a two-run homer to the short porch in right field off Rodón in the fifth. Abraham Toro and Trevor Story hit back-to-back solo shots in the eighth off Jonathan Loáisiga. Jarren Duran had a two-run single off Yankees reliever Tim Hill in the sixth. Toro added an RBI double in the ninth. Dobbins allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. A day after telling the Boston Herald, 'If the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I'd retire,' Dobbins heard little reaction from the crowd of 45,140. DJ LeMahieu homered in the fifth to give New York a 3-2 lead. Rodón permitted five runs and three hits in five-plus innings. The left-hander lost for the first time in eight decisions since April 13. Key moments Garrett Whitlock retired LeMahieu on a bases-loaded grounder to end the sixth after the Yankees had cut it to 7-5. … Aroldis Chapman, the seventh Boston reliever, fanned Anthony Volpe with two on for his 11th save. Key stats Boston scored 27 runs in the series, its most in a three-game set at Yankee Stadium since 2005. … Loáisiga has allowed four homers in nine appearances since returning from elbow surgery. Up next Red Sox RHP Brayan Bello (2-1, 3.91 ERA) opens a three-game series in Boston against Tampa Bay RHP Shane Baz (5-3, 4.96) on Monday night. Yankees LHP Max Fried (8-1, 1.78 ERA) opposes rookie LHP Noah Cameron (2-1, 0.85) in the opener of a three-game series Tuesday at Kansas City. ___ More AP baseball:
