Kyle McCarthy pitched a complete game shutout Thursday

 Nashua North lefty Kyle McCarthy won a battle of aces neither deserved to lose as the Titans knocked Salem out of the Division I Baseball Tournament 1-0.

 A Dmitri Jackson double scored an unearned run off of Salem starter Dan Morin in the 4^th inning and would prove to be the only offense of the afternoon as the two teams combined for only seven hits.

 Jackson had a pair of hits, matching the total of the entire Salem team, while shortstop Brendan Martin, catcher Matt Fortin and designated hitter John Vidal were the only other Nashua North batters to hit safely against Morin.

 McCarthy struck out nine batters and walked only three for the complete game win. On the other side Morin gave up only five hits, walked three and struck out five. The lone run of the game he allowed was unearned.

 We have the complete box score of the game and coverage brought to you by The Sentinel Title Services Company.

Troy Pelletier leads New Hampshire against Vermont

 The roster for the 2013 New Hampshire vs. Vermont Twin State Boys Basketball team has been released for the July 13th game at Essex High School in Essex, VT.

 Jamie Hayes of Newmarket will be the head coach for New Hampshire while Dave Chase of Hopkinton will serve as one of the teams' two assistant coaches. A Division I head coach will be named to the staff shortly and that coach will then be in line to be the head coach in 2014.

 Selection for the team was based off of the coaches all-state voting results.

 A look at the New Hampshire roster for a game we plan to have full coverage of in July;

 Troy Pelletier of Manchester Central small forward (17.5 ppg.)

 Our Player of the Year selection will find a spot in the starting lineup and is at his best getting to the rim and out in transition. If this team commits to pushing the basketball Pelletier could be in line for an MVP performance.

 Mabor Gabriel of Trinity center (15.8 ppg)

 Mabor will anchor the middle and proved he was a dominant rebounder during his senior season . He can also step out and score from mid-range or challenge shots. Defensively he'll be a much needed interior presence.
