If history repeats itself, it could be a very long season for the Wiscasset High School boys varsity baseball team.

In a good way.

The team snapped out of its midseason funk and handily defeated Mt. Abram, 7-2, on Monday, May 18. The win moves Wiscasset to 3-8 on the year, and allows the Wolverines to keep a tight hold on the number six spot in the Western Class D playoff picture.

The win was Wiscasset's first since May 4, when the Wolverines routed Carrabec 10-0. Since then the team fell to Telstar on May 6, Dirigo May 8, Hall-Dale May 11 and Madison May 13.

A year ago, the Wolverines had a similar midseason swoon before rattling off a win streak to make it to the Class D finals.

Wiscasset will look to copy their earlier success with homes games against Monmouth Academy May 20 and Winthrop on May 22 and an away game at Boothbay Region May 26.

Wiscasset drops two

The Wiscasset High School girls varsity softball team is still on the lookout for its next win after dropping two games against two Western Class C rivals.

The Wolverines (1-9) fell 12-0 Monday May 18 against the 10th-seeded Mt. Abram Roadrunners (5-6 overall record) and 23-1 May 15 against the top-ranked Madison Area Bulldogs (10-1).

The Wolverines will have a tough task on Wednesday, May 20, when they host the 6-5 Monmouth Mustangs. Things should get easier, however, when the team plays 1-8 Winthrop on May 22 and 2-9 Boothbay Region May 26.
