Friday’s Central Mass summer sports roundup was led by a dramatic finish, with North County edging Cherry Valley 8-7 on a walk-off hit from Nick Lamey. The game’s winning run scored when Andrew Beauregard came home on Lamey’s single, giving Post 193 a late victory.
North County had built a five-run advantage earlier in the game, but Cherry Valley fought back to erase the deficit and set up a tense finish. Even after letting that lead slip away, North County still found a way to close it out in its final chance.
Steven Escano helped spark the offense early with a two-run double in the first inning, giving North County an immediate boost. That early production proved important in a game that eventually came down to the final swing.
The roundup covered local sports action from Friday, July 17, and also included a schedule of games for Saturday, July 18. From the available report, North County’s walk-off win stood out as one of the day’s top finishes in Central Mass.
