The two stars for Norwell (@ClipperAD) today: the Glynn brothers.
Teddy paced all scorers with a hat trick, while Patrick (aka 'Packie') added a pair of goals to go with an assist as the Clippers advanced to the Final Four.
They will face a local rival in the semifinals, when they take on reigning Div. 3 champion, Scituate. @BosHeraldSports@Murray_Jack_
Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach
On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:
The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.
He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.
After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.
Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.
He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.
When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”
Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.
Norwell SS Alex Otero on his GW RBI 2B in 6th: “My approach all year is just find a fastball and hit it. I got to do it right there.”
Otero had 3 hits in 1st round. Coach Barrett Jacobs calls him the “hottest hitter on the planet.”

Norwell pitcher Cam Hohmann talks about the Clippers’ 4-3 win over Gloucester in the Div. 3 Round of 16. Hohmann (5-2) got the CG victory, allowing 5 hits and 4 walks with 7 K’s. He threw 112 pitches (65 for strikes). @sports_ledger@ClipperAD@CoachJacobsNHS
Tough 2-0 loss to a very good Weymouth team last weekend. I went 2/3 against a very good arm. Looking forward to playoffs this week.
