Spring Season Winding Down for Mustangs
Some Teams Looking for Post-Season Play
As the spring season winds down, here’s a look at how the Mustangs are doing:
Varsity Baseball
Record: 5-4 Greater Boston League (3rd in league), 6-7 overall
Games left in regular season: 7

Games left in regular season: 6
Next opponent: at home against Malden Monday, May 12
Top performers: Nicole Lopilato, .600 batting average, 3rd in GBL
