Connor Grieve , a senior, has pitched two complete-game victories in recent starts.

Grieve threw a 2-hitter in a 4 -1 playoff win over Leominster in the Division 1 playoffs.

He also hit a walk-off single in the playoff opener against Springfield Central .

The senior right-hander has thrown only 19 innings all season, but he's been lights out in his last two starts.

Coach Bill O'Connell : "He just recaptured his pitching ability" down the stretch.

Kasey 's go-ahead score sparked a dustup as he flattened Leominster pitcher Alex Coco , who had raced in to cover the plate.

Blue Devils catcher Rocky Lora took exception and knocked him down, but cooler heads prevailed.

Joyce added an RBI single in the sixth to complete the scoring.
