Possibly inspired by the spectacular seasons their basketball buddies experienced, the St. John’s Prep and Danvers baseball teams are proving to be just as successful — so far anyway.
The Prep, in 33-year coach Pat Yanchus’s final season at the helm, is 10-1 and was riding a 10-game win streak entering their game this afternoon at 5-6 Xaverian.
Danvers, meanwhile, was putting its 6-0 record (3-0 in the Small Division) on the line tonight at Danvers Park against fellow Northeastern Conference powerhouse Peabody (10-1, 8-0 in the Large Division.
The Prep currently is No. 1 in The Boston Globe baseball ratings, with Peabody fifth and Danvers, which gave coach Roger Day his 400th career win last week, sixth. Let’s see what happens today.
