Ryan Potter had a pair of hits but the Wolverines were shut out by visiting Spruce Mountain in the second game of a shortened Mountain Valley Conference baseball double header Tuesday.

With one out in the home half of the second inning and the Phoenix ahead 1-0, James Hodson was hit by the pitcher. Casey Mill then reached on an error and Potter singled to right. The next two Wolverine batters struck out ending the inning.

The third inning started with back-to-back doubles by Spruce Mountain’s Noah Gilbert and Bryson Bailey. Three unearned runs followed putting the Phoenix ahead 5-0. Second baseman Kyle Ricker had two put outs for the Wolverines.

Wiscasset’s hitters went down in order in the home half of the third inning.

Isaac Parker the Phoenix starting pitcher knocked in a pair of runs in the fourth with a bases loaded single. Spruce Mountain then picked up five more runs and added 14 runs in the fifth and final inning.

Potter’s second hit came in the fifth inning when he singled to right field. It was with one out and followed Hodson reaching base on an error.

In the first game, Hall-Dale scored 18 runs in the first two innings en route to a 33-0 win.

The Woverines held hitless for five innings and had just two runners reach base, Haiden Dunning who reached on an error and Zack Brewer who drew a base-on-balls.

The Bulldogs, the defending MVC champions, entered the game with a record of 10-3 and currently ranked third in the class C South standings. WMHS is winless this season.

Following an away game at Monmouth Wednesday afternoon, Coach Gregg Wood and the Wolverines will play another home doubleheader on Thursday against Dirigo.

These will also be five-inning games, the opener to start at 3 p.m.

The wet weather over the past month has resulted in many postponements, and the Wolverines having five ballgames in three days this week.
