It was a tough weekend for the local New England Independent and New Hampshire COVID Baseball Leagues.

Here’s a look:

NEIBL

ST. THOMAS SWEEPS AMHERST

The Sabers fell to 0-4 with 4-3 and 13-8 losses to the Saints. In Game 1, the Sabers got solid pitching from Sean Brennan and Jimmy Reel but managed just four hits.

In the nightcap, Bobby Henline, Brady Mason and Brandon Dufour each had two hits including a double.

Isaiah Gutierrez gave the Sabers three solid mound innings in the nightcap but the bullpen faltered, unable to hold a 7-4 lead.
