Spring Baseball and Softball Return to Beckwith Middle School

Above top: 2021 Raiders Baseball Team Above: Outgoing 8th Graders Raiders Baseball

After a turbulent school year, Beckwith and the other school’s in the Massasoit league were able to get in a full baseball season! Despite missing a year, the 8th grade group of boys came in as both strong players and leaders. The year started off positive with a great win at home against Case Middle School, but the momentum didn’t carry too much further. The Raiders would play a number of close games throughout the season picking up additional wins against Seekonk, Berkley and Bridgewater, but did not manage to have a winning season, despite having a number of great games. The boys were most often led by the battery of Raider veterans, Ben Miller and Brennan Silva with standout performances also coming from Gavin Salera, Ben Cote, Charlie Roth, Ace Fortin, Aidan Melo and Shane Baker. The outfield, led by Aidan Melo, Talon Botelho and Shane Baker was a consistent defensive force throughout the season, while the infield, often led by the long stretch of Gavin Salera at first, made some fantastic plays throughout the duration of the season. The seventh graders on the squad brought fantastic energy and gained experience for when they become leaders in the season to come. While the record was far from perfect, Coach Brideau and Coach Francese couldn’t have asked for a better group of kids to make the end of this irregular year something special. Thank you to all the players, the Beckwith community and most importantly the parents for making it a special season for our deserving students.

Roster: Shane Baker*, Talon Botelho*, Ben Cote*, James Dias, Ace Fortin*, Josh Hoskins, Garrett Inman, Will Labrie, Aidan Melo*, Ben Miller*, Nathan Rioux, Charlie Roth*, Gavin Salera*, Brennan Silva*, Gavin Smith. Coaches: Mr. Brideau and Mr. Francese. *8th Graders
