BASEBALL

Mansfield 7, Taunton 2

A tough first inning for the Tigers was too much to overcome, as Taunton suffered its first loss of the season.

Mansfield scored seven runs in the 1st inning.

"Defensively, we allowed three infield singles along with two walks and an error to put us in a hole we couldn't dig out of," coach Blair Bourque said.

Dawson Bryce went 2-3 for Taunton, Braden Sullivan went 1-2 with an RBI, and Shawn Cali went 6 innings, giving up 3 earned runs, 4 walks, 2 strikeouts and 5 hits.

Dawson Bryce doubled to lead off the game, and Braden Sullivan drove him home on a single to center.

Taunton plays North Attleboro on Monday.
