OLD ORCHARD BEACH — Visiting Buckfield jumped ahead early, sweated out an Old Orchard Beach rally, then broke open a close game in the final inning as the Bucks topped the host Seagulls 22-9 in a season-opening Western Maine softball game at Old Orchard Beach High School Thursday.
OOB (0-1) drew first blood in the bottom of the first, but Buckfield (1-0) came back strong to lead 7-2 in the third.
Tiffany Leclair homered as the Seagulls closed to within 12-9 heading into the seventh, but Amber Bennett’s home run highlighted a 10-run frame for the Bucks.
