You’ve got to love the back-to-backs this spring. It’s awfully hard for a team to beat the other team twice in the same week, and the Milford High School baseball team proved it again on Thursday, avenging an earlier loss this week to Hollis Brookline.

The HB softball team also won, and Bishop Guertin boys lacrosse also remained unbeaten.
