Everything came together for the Lady Wolverines on May 6, good defense, good pitching and timely hitting, which earned Wiscasset (2-7) its second win of the season, defeating Winthrop (4-3) 5-3.

Coach Claire Daniels said the team has struggled with errors all season. But she was pleased with team’s effort in this game, allowing just two errors. “They kept with it,” she said.

After giving up two runs in the first inning, winning pitcher Megan Corson pitched shutout ball for the next four innings. She allowed just four hits in the game and struck out five.

Colleen Hendricks led off the third inning with a single to right field. Heidi Pinkham laid down a bunt, which advanced her to second base.

Briana Goud and Kayla Gordon each produced RBI hits that tied the game at two. Wiscasset took the lead a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning.

Wiscasset’s two errors both came in the sixth inning, allowing an unearned run to score, which tied the game.   

With runners in scoring position, Gordon picked up her forth hit of the game and drove in two runs to give the Wolverines a 5-3 edge going into the seventh.

Corson made a great defensive play diving to catch a ball hit to the left side of the mound for the first out of the inning. She then struck out Winthrop’s Danielle Pease for out number two. A ground ball out ended the game.

Daniels handed out two game balls, one to Gordon and the other to Goud; the two combined for seven hits in the game.

“The game ball could have gone to the whole team,” said Goud, who is the team's catcher. “When everyone is on their game, we get the “W,” she said.
