BALTIMORE (AP) — Nick Pivetta allowed two hits in seven impressive innings and Trevor Story hit a two-run homer in the fifth to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 3-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.A day after winning the AL East title, the Orioles did little offensively but had to be encouraged by their own starter’s effort. John Means (1-2) pitched into the seventh inning and looked like a solid option for Baltimore when it sets up its postseason rotation.Means was Baltimore’s opening day starter last year but needed Tommy John surgery and didn’t pitch again for the Orioles until this month. This was his fourth start.The left-hander retired his first 13 batters before Rob Refsnyder doubled and Story followed with a drive over the big wall in left field at Camden Yards. The Red Sox also scored a run in the ninth.Means allowed three hits in 6 1/3 innings with four strikeouts and no walks.Pivetta (10-9) struck out 10 with a walk. He finished his season...

NORWELL – In a one-score game to start the third, Norwell’s defense came up with a timely stop and from there drove it down the field 97 yards to seal the eventual 27-7 victory over South Shore Sullivan rival Abington at home.“It was huge,” said Clippers coach John Willis about coming up with the stop against Abington in coach Jim Kelliher’s 50th and final season. “We played well on both sides of the ball. It was a big play of the game to get that stop and then go 97 yards, but you are never out of it with (Abington). We knew it would be a dog fight. The score is not indicative of the type of game that it really was. We played well tonight. We played our best game of the year.”Abington (3-1) started the second half at the 50 and, after a couple of negative plays, a 51-yard strike to senior Ryan Simonetti set up the Green Wave at the three-yard line. Two plays later junior Andrew Lazcano came up with a fumble recovery at the Norwell (4-0) three-yard line.The Clippers then ate 10:14 o...
