Daren Wood, the son of Karen Hefler and Gregg Wood of Wiscasset, was recently named to Portland’s All-Twilight Team. It was his first season playing in the Twilight Baseball League that is celebrating its 114th consecutive year of play. 

According to Wood’s father and www.leaguelineup.com, over the summer Wood played seven different positions for his team, Target Utility Services, that compiled an 11-12-1 league record. He finished with a .306 batting average. Wood pitched, and played every position on infield except shortstop. He also played both left and right field.

Target Utility Services finished as champs of the regular season with a 6-2 record but lost in a best of three game playoff series against AERO Heating & Ventilation. During one of those playoff games, Wood went three for three at the plate with a double. Target Utility Services was one of four teams making up this year’s Twilight League that features some of the best college and amateur baseball talent in Maine.

In June, Wood graduated from Wiscasset Middle High School where he played for the Wolverines varsity baseball team. Following the WMHS baseball season he was named to the Mountain Valley Conference first team all-stars.

Wood is also a WMHS academic all-star. He’ll be attending the University of Southern Maine in Gorham this fall studying mechanical engineering.
