The Medford High School baseball team won their last home game of the regular season with a 1-0 victory over Stoneham on Monday.

John Lavoie pitched a complete game one hit shutout to earn his fifth win of the season, said assistant coach Ryan Kozul.

The sole run of the game came in the sixth inning. Ryan Covelle walked with two outs. Lavoie singled, putting runners at the corners. Jake Porrazzo stepped up the plate and singled to right field to give the Mustangs the lead.

Lavoie held onto his team’s lead, shutting down Stoneham in the seventh to seal the win.

Medford is 16-3 overall and 7-1 in the Greater Boston League heading into the last game of the regular season. The Mustangs are on the road at Lexington on Tuesday.

Medford won the GBL title for the first time in over ten years. The Mustangs are league co-champs with Everett, who handed Medford their only GBL loss of the season. Medford is awaiting word on the state tournament seedings, which will be available next Tuesday.
