GLOUCESTER: Block party, fireworks, boat parade canceled

At the request of the Coast Guard, Gloucester officials have canceled Saturday night's parade of lights and fireworks over the harbor. The Coast Guard cites the impending storm as a major threat to would-be boaters. According to the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, the canceled activities have not been re-scheduled. Friday night's block party had already been canceled. Sunday's schooner race and Celebrate Gloucester are still on. (9/2/10)

JASON BANOS NAMED MVP AS NAVIGATORS SHINE IN ALL-STAR GAME

LYNN, MA (June 19, 2010) – The North Shore Navigators were well-represented at last night's 2010 NECBL All-Star Game in Newport, Rhode Island, as the Eastern Division rolled to a 10-0 victory over the West.

The Navigators' Jason Banos (Columbia University; Lynnfield) was named MVP for his efforts after the NECBL's second leading hitter hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning to put the East on top 6-0. Fittingly, Banos participated in the event's Home Run Derby earlier in the afternoon, in which he connected for two home runs. Banos is currently hitting .370 for the season, and has reached base in 19 straight games. He is hitting a remarkable .432 over that span.

The Navigators' five other All-Star selections also made large impacts for the East, a team that was managed by Navs' head coach Jeff Waldron and assistant coaches Eric Pelletier and Steve Coffey.

Matt Avery (Cypress College) started and led off the game, going 2-for-3 with an RBI. He singled home a run in the second inning and later singled in the fourth but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Avery (.320) is among the top-ten leaders in batting average.

Tyler Kuehl (Point Loma Nazarene) started at second base for the East and scored a run in the second inning after reaching on a fielder's choice. Kuehl is fourth in the NECBL with 22 RBI.

Nolan Corr (Wheaton College), Crayton Bare (University of Baylor), and Bryant Gauthier (Southern New Hampshire University; Lynn) were the three Navs' pitchers selected to the All-Star roster, as the three combined to pitch the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings, allowing no runs on just one hit while facing the minimum nine hitters.

Corr allowed a single to lead off the sixth but induced a double play before a fly out ended the inning. Bare and Gauthier both threw perfect innings in the sixth and seventh, as both struck out one in their lone inning of work.

The East scored four more times in the bottom of the ninth to make it 10-0, as the East pounded out 13 hits on the night. The West, meanwhile, managed just one hit while being shutout by Eastern division pitchers.

Winning only 4 games last year, the Falcons beat Gloucester on the last day of the season behind the offerings of Greg to tie for the top spot in the Northeastern Conference's South Division. Ladd went on to pitch the Falcons to a win in the opener of the MIAA baseball tournament to finish his senior season with a perfect 9 - 0 record.
