The place to be Saturday was either at Holman Stadium for some fabulous high school baseball, or Nashua High School North for some of the best track and field athletes in the area as well as the state.

There was the quadrupleheader at Holman Stadium featuring all three Nashua teams, or the 17th annual Nashua High School North Invitational.

Also, a tough out of state loss for the BG boys lacrosse team at Providence College.

Here’s how things shook out on a super Saturday:
