BATH — The Morse High School baseball team tied Camden Hills in the bottom of the seventh, then walked off in the eighth for a 2-1 Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference victory over Camden Hills on Friday at Kelley Field.

The Windjammers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the opening frame when Ben Rollins came home on a ground ball by Kyle Crans.

The Shipbuilders (7-8) tied the game when Zach Holbrook led off the seventh with a walk and moved to second on a bunt single by Trevor Drouin (2- for-3). Josh McDougal sacrificed both runners up a base, and after an intentional walk loaded the bases, Brendan Harper hit a hard grounder to second to score the tying run. Rollins escaped further damage when he made a nice play on a squeeze bunt for the second out at the plate.

In the eighth, Dakota Jacobs’ twoout, bases-loaded single plated the winning run.

Morse pitcher Nick Doughty went the distance, striking out five and walking two. Collins also picked up a complete game for the Windjammers, striking out five and walking four.
