Jeff Moore's two-run double highlighted Georgetown's four-run fourth inning as the Royals topped Ipswich, 4-1, i the first round of the Georgetown Spottford tourney.  The Royals (9-10) meet Triton this afternoon (2:30 p.m.) in the championship game.

Colby Ingraham opened the game with a single, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Ryan Browner's infield out. The run was all Georgetown righty Pat Slack would need in a 1-0 Royals win at Ipswich yesterday. Slack nearly went the distance in a six-hitter as the senior Browner came one for a one-out save, striking out the final hitter to preserve the Royal win.

Ninth hitter Peter Markowksky drove in North Andover's first run and broke the game open with a two-run double in a seven-run third to spark the Knights' 10-1, five-inning win over Ipswich.

Pentucket mustered up a dramatic finish in its 6-5 victory over Ipswich. With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, sophomore Bobby Barry (three hits and two RBIs) singled and stole second base. Junior Jake Greaney (two hits and two RBIs) followed with a base hit up the middle. A hustling Barry beat the throw to the plate on a close play to give the Sachems the walk-off win.

North Reading's Ryley Warnock delivered his second sharp mound effort of the year, shutting out Ipswich, 3-0 yesterday. Warnock fanned 11 Tigers and walked two in a five-hitter. Mike Brandano's RBI single keyed the Hornets' three-run sixth.
