Local Sports NORTH ATTLEBORO - Two days after a complete-game dandy by Garret Briggs, the South Attleboro Junior Legion baseball team got another mound gem, this time out of Brett Mastropoll.
Mastropoll fashioned a three-hitter, striking out 11 as South Attleboro swept a doubleheader against the Fall River Indians. South Attleboro earned a forfeit win in the first game, then won the nightcap at North Attleboro High School behind Mastropoll, 2-1. South Attleboro ends the regular season 11-5 and still has a chance to win its division, but needs Somerset to lose twice this upcoming week. Regardless, South Attleboro qualified for the playoffs in this, its inaugural season. Most Commented on Stories
