The Carrabec Cobras defeated the Wolverines 17-4 but it took them a full seven innings to do so Wednesday afternoon at Wiscasset Middle High School. It was the Wolverines' first complete game of the Mountain Valley Conference season and took over three hours to play.

Carrabec took an early lead scoring a run in the first inning. The Wolverines threatened in the home half of the inning loading the bases but failing to score. The Cobras added five more runs in the second and a run in the third, then five more in the fourth.

Cobra pitcher Abby Richardson had a shutout going through the first three innings. With two outs in the third Wolverine Joanna Collins connected and sent a deep flyball to center field that was run down and caught.

The Wolverine bats finally came to life in the fourth inning. Senior Sydnie Thayer led off with a bloop single to right field. Makaula Bailey and Brianna Orr drew back-to-back and Dinisha Dawkins singled. Thayer, Bailey, Olsen and Dalkins all scored in the inning.

In the sixth Collins singled advancing Dawkins who had walked but the Wolverines failed to score.

The Wolverines had a nice defensive putout in the third inning when short-stop Kelsey Jones scooped up a hard-hit grounder throwing across the diamond to Bailey to get the batter out.

Chante LaCroix doubled and drove in two runs for the Cobras. Trinity Slate and Sarah Olsen both doubled as well. Carrabec's final runs came in the fifth inning, with three, and the seventh, when they scored two.

Sydnie Thayer pitched her first complete game of the season for WMHS. Richardson went the distance on the mound for Carrabec.

The loss drops the Wolverines to 0-5 in the Mountain Valley Conference. Carrabec evened its record at 1-1. Weather permitting Wiscasset will travel to Dixfield to play Dirigo on Friday. Wiscasset will host the hard-hitting Lisbon Greyhounds Monday, May 6.

The Wolverines are playing a Class C softball schedule, although WMHS is officially part of the Class D south made up of high schools with smaller enrollments. Thayer is the only senior on the roster.
