Field goal lifts Massachusetts Pirates to 23-22 win over Tulsa in Lowell

A 24-yard field goal by Calu Sutherland lifted the Massachusetts Pirates to a 23-22 come-from-behind victory over the Tulsa Oilers at the Tsongas Center in Lowell on Saturday night.

The hard-fought win ended a two-game skid by the Pirates (6-3).

Alejandro Bennifield was 12-for-20 through the air for 92 yards and one interception. Jimmie Robinson led the ground attack, gaining 58 yards on 14 carries.

The Pirates overcame deficits of 15-6 and 22-14 to pull out the victory.

Bennifield opened the scoring with a 7-yard TD run in the first quarter, but Tulsa (3-6) went ahead on a 6-yard pass from Andre Sale to Montero Dubose. A safety by Noah Lyles added to Tulsa’s lead and then the visitors made it 15-6 on a touchdown by Harvey Bennett.

But Robinson pulled the Pirates to within 15-14 at halftime with a 4-yard run. Another Sale TD throw, this one of 17 yards to Jonathan Nance, put the Oilers on top 22-14 in the third quarter, but the Pirates would not allow another point.

Quenic Patterson bowled in from the 1 later in the third and Sutherland’s kick won it in the fourth.

A body part was found in a pond in Shirley, Massachusetts and investigators said foul play is suspected.

It was discovered around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday as a group of people were walking along Veterans Memorial Bridge on Shaker Road.

Foul play suspected after human remains found in water in Shirley

Human remains were discovered Wednesday in the water in Shirley, Massachusetts, and authorities suspect foul play.

Police in Shirley said in a social media post at 7:15 p.m. that they responded to “a suspicious object in the water near the Maritime Veterans Memorial Bridge on Shaker Road.” Massachusetts State Police later said the object was believed to be human remains.

The bridge crosses Catacoonamug Brook near Phoenix Pond.

The office of Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said a group of young people was walking in the area around 5:30 p.m. and “reported seeing what appeared to be something consistent with a body part in the water.”

Foul play is suspected, Ryan’s office said.

Authorities will continue investigating overnight into Thursday, and an increased police presence is expected in the area.

No further information was immediately available.
