The Boston College baseball team will play the second game of a doubleheader exhibition against the Boston Red Sox Thursday in Florida.
Norwood's John Gorman and his Boston College baseball teammates will be facing the Boston Red Sox Thursday in the second game of a doubleheader in Fort Myers. Boston will play Northeastern at 1:30 p.m., followed 40 minutes after that game ends, BC will play the Red Sox. A sophomore pitcher-infielder, Gorman was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 50th round of the Major League Draft two years out of Catholic Memorial High School. Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell said on mlb.com that he would be staying away from his starting pitchers for the two exhibition games against the college teams, instead going to his relievers. "On the two college games, that will serve as somewhat of an intrasquad type game for us," said Farrell on the team…

Norwood gets knocked out of the tournament but not after 'miracle' comeback against Hingham.
Sometimes there is a moment in sports that becomes both magical and unforgettable. A moment that truly defines a team, and makes you believe in something beyond the game itself. The Norwood Legion Post 70 baseball team had one of those moments yesterday. With Post 70 facing elimination Tuesday afternoon against Hingham, trailing by six runs in the bottom of the twelfth, all seemed lost. But like the night before - when Norwood scored six runs off South Attleboro in the ninth but fell short - they rallied, and this time the story would have a historic ending. Brandon Davis smacked a two-run single with two outs in the twelfth, to propel Norwood to an incredible seven-run inning to beat Hingham 13-12 and advance Post 70 to face off against …

Norwood beat a hard Milton team in the Game 3 finale to advance.
After Tuesday night's 14-2 beating of Milton in Game 1 of their best-of-three playoff series, Manager Paul Samargedlis said Milton was going to fight “tooth and nail” and that the series wasn’t over. He was right. Milton battled back with Willie Archibald to win Game 2, 5-3, but Norwood won the series clincher 4-3. “They are the scariest 5th seed you could possibly have on your playoff ticket,” said Samargedlis. The pitching match up between young high school pitchers Brendan Cathcart and Milton’s John Arens, was nothing less than spectacular as both pitchers showed great poise and presence on the mound in this pressure cooker battle. Norwood did jump out in the first inning when Captain Sean Keady smacked a single and proceeded to steal …

Sean O'Neil and John Gorman lead Norwood to 14-1victory.
Norwood Legion’s Post 70 opened their 2011 tournament run with a bang Tuesday night at Wall Field with a 14-1 victory over Milton in game one of a best of three series. And that bang may echo through the rest of the postseason. Post 70 started the first inning with Sean O’Neil striking out the opposing side and the offense pounding out three extra base hits, five overall, for six crucial runs that the Milton team could never recover from. Captain Sean Keady led off with a triple down the right field line and scored on a passed ball. After a Chris O’Brien walk, John Gorman tripled to center for another run. Anthony Perriello hit an RBI single to score Gorman making it 3-0, and PJ King added a two run double for Norwood, well on their way to…

Norwood Legion beat Westwood 8-1 at Xaverian last night.
They say pitching wins championships in baseball but it doesn’t hurt if your team can smack the ball out of the yard also. That was the case for the Post 70 Norwood legion team who relied on two home runs in the fourth inning - along with a strong pitching performance from Sean O’Neil - to cruise to the 8-1 win over Westwood Wednesday evening. “I wanted our guys to grind out some at-bats, see some pitches and maybe get a big inning,” said Post 70 manager Paul Samargedlis. Norwood delivered in the fourth when BC-bound Gatorade Player of the Year John Gorman smacked a two-run home run over the left field fence for the early 2-0 lead. “It was a big at-bat, we definitely needed a spark,” said Gorman following the win. “He (pitcher Mike …

Norwood got four quick runs on the board in the top of the first inning, taking advantage of Foxborough pitcher Bobby Joyce. “I knew right away first couple of hitters he (Bobby) just didn’t have anything,” said Foxboro coach Bill Travers.

BC-bound and Gatorade Massachusetts Baseball Player of the Year drafted 1,522nd by hometown team.
Catholic Memorial's John Gorman's high school career was capped today after he was drafted 1,522nd by the hometown Boston Red Sox, according the Boston Herald. Gorman is expected to attend Boston College, which is what knocked him way down on draft boards. The 6-foot 2-inch Norwood resident had a terrific high school baseball career complete with multiple no-hitters, ace performances on the mound, and accolades topped by being named the Gatorade Massachusetts Baseball Player of the Year. The Knights were eliminated this week in the MIAA playoffs by BC High, 3-0, in the South Sectional Quarterfinals. Gorman struck out eight in as many innings, walking just two (one intentionally), but took the tough loss. The pitcher/third baseman hopes to…
