Burke's only win of the season this year was when Dorchester forfeited in the season opener. Last year Burke went 1-15. But Duhaime said his goal is not to necessarily win games but to help his players go to college. He boasted that Blackwell is going to Iowa State and Benjamin will attend Framingham State, Southern New Hampshire, or Salem State.

'My second goal is I want them to be solid citizens in the classroom and my third goal is to get them to respect the game of baseball,' Duhaime said.

Fenway said its goal for this season is to make the city tournament after it missed the tournament last year by one game following a loss to Snowden in the final game of the regular season.

'We use that as motivation, we talk about that a lot,' said Pena. 'We were one game away and we blew it against Snowden so it's still in the back of our mind that game.'

Fenway catcher Henry Miranda went 2 for 5 with four RBIs. Two of those RBIs came at the start of Fenway's big second inning.

'Basically I just told our guys to be very patient with this kid, he's not throwing very hard,' first-year Fenway coach David Walsh said.

Walsh, a 2003 Fenway graduate, said he is pleased with his team's offensive approach, especially its ability to draw walks and hit with two outs.

'We're very fast, we like to be aggressive on the bases,' he said. 'We had some big two-out hits; something we have struggled with is hitting with two outs. Just timely hitting was the key today besides Jeffery throwing a good game.'
