FINAL: SJP 29, Springfield Central 14

A Jareth Staine injury was the downfall of Central on opening night. SJP was “carried” by its defense, according to Head Coach Brian St. Pierre.

Jahir Charles gets picked off. SJP can’t get a TD, but it’s FG makes it a two possession game.

As I was typing, Central returned the kick for a house call, but holding made the TD disappear. Two plays later, SJP got a pick-6. This game is virtually over.

SJP 29, Central 14.

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Welp, so much for the solid offense…

Neither team got in the redzone in the 3rd quarter.

START 4TH: SJP 20, Central 14

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

HALF: SJP 20, Central 14

Solid offensive showings from both teams, but SJP has found more turf. Central has to get the run game going or the SJP will going to walk out of Springfield victorious.

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Back-and-forth affair here.

Another string drive from SJP, with Vargas capping the possession off on a 2-yard TD pass to Nate Frasca.

Central will try and double dip down a score with 2 min left in the half, and get ball to start the 3rd.

2ND QTR 1:56: SJP 20, Central 14

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Crucial offsides by SJP on 4th & 5 gave Central new life, and it capitalizes. Staine finds Will Davis Jr. for a 15-yard TD, as Central regains the lead.

2ND 7:32: Central 14, SJP 13

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

SJP back-to-back touchdowns… courtesy of Maxwell Parent. He’s got both of the Eagles’ scores so far.

Despite the scoring, SJP’s O-Line coach still wants for urgency from his guys up front.

2ND 10:22: SJP 13, Central 7

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

How things can turn…

After getting a touchdown, SJP forces a fumble on the kickoff return. They have the ball at Central’s 22 going into the 2nd Quarter.

START 2ND: Central 7, SJP 6

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Vargas marches the Eagles down the field before Maxwell Parent gets SJP on the board. SJP gets blocked on PAT

1ST: Central 7, SJP 6

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Central drives down the field and Jareth Stain finds Kodi Massey for a 43 yard strike👀

1ST: 7-0 Central

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

St John’s Prep gets to midfield before punting away to Central. Nothing going for Vargas and Co. to start

1ST: SJP 0, Central 0

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Can’t forget about 4 ⭐️ QB and Ohio State commit Chris Vargas… look for him to get going early

Vargas last year in St. John’s Prep’s 36-35 win against Central⬇️

10-for-17, 76 Yards, 1 TD

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

And on the other side of the 50… 4 ⭐️ running back and Notre Dame commit Isaiah Rodgers looks to be the engine for the Golden Eagles offense. Kickoff at 7 p.m., and I’ll have live updates throughout.

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

The Cape Cod Baseball League is drying up. The new college baseball landscape is killing one of the purest forms of baseball this country has ever had to offer. Over 100 years of tradition, ravaged by dollars and cents.

What now? Is there a way forward?

The summer of a lifetime.

Thank you, @YD_RedSox for the chance to call 45 magical games and make lifelong memories with great people.

It was an absolute pleasure to represent this organization and community on the air all summer long.

I will cherish it forever.

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Rhett Vaughn (@FSUBaseball) hasn’t allowed an earned run since June 26 for @YD_RedSox.

The right-hander has 19.1 innings on the summer, letting up just 2 runs on only 5 walks compared to 26 strikeouts. 0.93 ERA and looked strong in his first start after 9 relief appearances.

@reaganomics27 Glad you enjoyed!

Tommy Goodin with @YD_RedSox

In 8 losses: 1-for-20, .290 OPS

In 26 wins: .304 AVG, .844 OPS, 20 RBIs (1st among CCBL players in victories)

Clearly an X-factor. I talked with Goodin and Y-D coaches about his approach throughout the summer⬇️
