Hall-Dale would rally to a 9-3 win to drop the Wolverines to 2-2 overall (3-2 if the Telstar forfeiture is counted).

Wiscasset held onto a narrow 2-0 lead after one inning, as Dylan McMahon and Tyler Bailey each knocked in a run to stake starter Chandler Longfellow to an early lead. McMahon scored his second run, and Wiscasset's third, in the third inning to break what had been a 2-2 tie.

Bailey took over for Longfellow on the mound and was masterful, keeping the Bulldogs off the board until the sixth inning.

Hall-Dale would plate six runs in the top half of the sixth to push its advantage to 8-3 and take its first lead of the game. A security run in the seventh gave the team its final tally.

For Wiscasset, catcher Darren Wood scored a run, stole a base and had a walk, and McMahon had a double and pair of walks and runs.

Wiscasset won its Friday, May 2 home game against Mt. Abram, 5-3, as Longfellow bashed a bases-loaded double for an early lead behind a masterful pitching performance by McMahon.
