Massaro leads Talbot in opener

CENTREVILLE — Anthony Massaro hurled a complete game four-hitter, striking out 10 and walking three Monday night, as Talbot Post 70/77 defeated Queen Anne’s-Kent County, 4-3, in Game 1 of their best-of-three American Legion Eastern Shore League North Division baseball playoff series.

Tuesday’s Game 2 was canceled and had yet to be rescheduled at press-time on Tuesday.

Evan Dickey took the loss for Queen Anne’s-Kent County (3-4). Jacob Clough, Dulin Clark, Evan Norwood and Devin Wallace each had a hit for Queen Anne’s-Kent.
