Dylan Creswell took over on the mound and would shut down the Rangers the rest of the way as the host Seagulls rallied for an 8-2 win at The Ballpark on Wednesday.
Creswell would go 6 1/3 innings, allowing just one hit and two walks, while striking out seven.
OOB was led at the plate by Thomas Fregeau and Evan O’Donnell with three hits each. Fregeau scored twice and O’Donnell knocked in three runs in the win. Mason Beaudoin added two hits for OOB, who scored one in the first, four in the second and three in the sixth to secure the win.
“My kids were focused … I think they are really buying in to my whole philosophy and system and they are having fun,” said LaChance.
OOB, which improved to 3-0 on the young season, will host Sacopee Valley on Friday.
Thornton Academy 3, Chever us 2
Ben Lambert kept the Golden Trojans in the game and Luke Chessie sent the TA fans home happy.
Lambert tossed a complete game, giving up just one earned run and striking out four, and Chessie provided a game-winning, two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to give the Trojans the win.
Chessie had three hits on the day to lead TA, which also got two hits from both Zach Ham and Josh LePauloue.
It was the second straight complete game for Lambert, who has proven to be one of the best pitchers in the state.
“He pitched well today,” said TA coach Ray Petit. “He was a little more effective than he was in the first game. His control and his off-speed stuff was better.”
Petit was thrilled to see his young team complete a come-from-behind win.
“It’s very encouraging. We have three or four young players and we were a little tight at the beginning of the game,” said Petit. “They rose to the occasion, stuck with it and ended up coming out with a win.”
The Trojans (2-0) will visit Sanford today.
