7/8 Boys Lacrosse hosted Dedham in the final home game of the season, suffering a 12-1 defeat. Dedham pulled away early in a game Hull hoped would be redemption, never looking back in what ended up being a rout. Thomas Blake was one of the few bright spots for the Pirates, snagging three ground balls and forcing two turnovers. Malik Ervin, Mason Delgallo ,and goalie Jake McDowell played well on the defensive side to keep Dedham away from the net, but it did not end up being enough in the end. The team has a bye next week and will look to bounce back in the next game against Attleboro on Sunday, June 4.
