Greyhounds shut out Wolverines in MVC softball
Lisbon scored 16 runs in the second inning in a Mountain Valley Conference softball shutout against host Wiscasset Middle High School Monday afternoon.
After scoring two runs in the first, the Greyhounds batted around the order in their second plate appearance.
Sydney Plourde led off the inning with a triple and scored on a double by Joanna Turner. The next two batters reached loading the bases. Mallory Fairbanks then singled to center driving in two runs. In the same inning Sarah Haggerty drove in two more runs with a base hit and Kiley Merritt had a two-run double.
Plourde who started on the mound for Lisbon struck out the first three Wiscasset batters.
Wolverine Farah Casey led off the second with a single up the middle but was left stranded on second base. Casey reached base later in the game on a fielder’s choice but failed to score. Joanna Collins had the only other Wolverine hit, a single over the shortstop’s head in the third inning.
Sidney Thayer started and pitched two innings. Collins was brought in to relieve in the second.
The Greyhounds added three more runs in both the third and fourth innings and then four in the fifth when the game was called due to the 12-run rule.
The win improved the Class B Greyhounds’ MVC record to 2-1. The team’s other win came against Mountain Valley. The Class D Wolverines are 0-6.
The Wolverines have three more games this week. On Wednesday they’ll be at Mountain Valley in Rumford, returning home on Friday to host Oak Hill. This Saturday, May 11, the Wolverines will travel to Dixfield to play a make-up game with Dirigo at 11 a.m.
