Seahawk hitters too much for Wolverines
Boothbay Region High School batted around the order in the third inning scoring 10 runs in a lopsided Mountain Valley Conference baseball win over host Wiscasset Middle High School Wednesday.
The Seahawks finished with 20 runs, the Wolverines had five, and the game was called after five innings due to the 12-run rule.
Boothbay sent seven batters to the plate in the first inning. Hunter Crocker led off with a single to left field off Wolverine starter Casey Mills. After stealing second and third he scored when Will LaBrecque reached base on a throwing error, the first of many committed by Wiscasset.
After Owen Barter walked, Mills struck out the next batter. Steve Reny then stroked a base hit through the middle scoring Barter. Reny later scored on a delayed steal from third base.
The Wolverines scored two runs in the home half of the inning with Muhammad Khalique beating out a grounder on the left side of the infield. James Hodson and Mills reached base with back-to-back hits scoring Khalique. Hodson eventually scored on a fielder’s choice.
Boothbay added a pair of runs in the second, both unearned. Barter, the Seahawk starter, sent the Wolverines down in order in the home half of the inning.
The pivotal third inning began with Mills giving up back-to-back singles to Colby Babcock and Jordan Carrier, the number seven and eight batters in the lineup. Jamie Labreque reached on an error and Mills hit the next batter setting the table for a big inning for the Seahawks.
Khalique stroked his second hit of the game, a line drive single in the third inning. He scored on a bouncing ball hit by Hodson who beat the throw to first base. Hodson soon came around and scored. The Wolverines added another run when Mills who reached on a base hit scored from third.
Barter picked up the win. LaBrecque drove in two Seahawk runs with a double.
Mills was the pitcher of record for Wiscasset, and finished with three strikeouts. Matt Eckert who started the game catching behind the plate worked the final two innings in relief and had three K’s as well.
The Seahawks entered the game with an MVC record of 1-3; they defeated Telstar 14-12 at BRHS April 29. Their losses were against Dirigo, 13-2; Lisbon 16-0 and Mt. Valley 31-0.
Wiscasset is still looking for its first MVC win this season. The team’s record is 0-5. The Wolverines will travel to Dixfield to face Dirigo on Friday, May 3. They’ll host Lisbon on May 6.
