LYNNFIELD — The Lynnfield High baseball team made it 11 in a row with an 11-6, road win over Essex Tech on Monday, improving to 15-3 on the season and capping another impressive, 4-0 week.

Junior Joey Wozniak got the win over Rockport, pitching a complete-game shutout. He surrendered just 5 hits and no walks while striking out 9 in a dominant effort.
The Pioneers put up one run in the 5th and one more in the 6th. The game-winning run in the 5th started with a two-out rally by senior Charlie Morgan who doubles and scored on a base hit by senior Nick Groussis. The insurance run came on a solo shot by senior Madux Iovinelli.
Wozniak took it from there.

Lynnfield had 10 hits in the win. Groussis, Iovinelli, senior Tyler Adamo, junior Dylan Nguyen and junior Drew George each had 2 hits.
Lynnfield’s 8-run 6th began with a Nguyen single. Two hit batters set up an RBI single from Groussis and Iovinelli followed with RBI hit of his own to make it 7-4. Later with two outs and still trailing by three, George came through with an RBI single and a liner by Tracy along with an error resulted in Iovinelli and junior Luke DiSilvio coming around to tie it.
