The local track teams competed at the Bay State Conference championships, and the boys' lacrosse and girls' tennis squads stayed perfect.
Baseball: The Raiders missed a chance to pull closer to league leader Walpole, falling, 7-2, to the Rebels on Monday. The result assured Walpole at least a share of the Bay State Conference title. Wellesley (10-7, 7-5 BSC) didn’t play again this week because of rain and remains in second place in the Herget Division.
Softball: Wellesley lost an entire week of play to rain, leaving the team to sit on its four-game losing streak. The Raiders (3-12, 2-9 BSC) will play an unusual Sunday game tomorrow morning at 11 a.m., when they host Walpole.
Boys’ lacrosse: The Raiders continue to crush all comers, picking up two decisive victories this week. Wellesley (15-0, 10-0 BSC) overwhelmed Braintree, 13-2, on Tuesday and topped Newton North, 10-6, on Thursday to stay unbeaten and ranked No. 2 in the Boston Globe’s poll.

Boys’ tennis: The Raiders won their second straight, beating Newton North, 4-1, on Friday. Wellesley (9-2,7-1 BSC) Thanks to rain, Wellesley plays every day next week, closing with Friday’s rematch against Needham, which snapped the Raiders’ three-year BSC winning streak on April 27.
