Blazes bury Knights

Westbrook moved to 2-1 on the season following Tuesday’s 12-2 win at Noble. The Blazes scored three runs in the first and three more in the second to take control of the game with a 6-0 lead.

Adam Hamilton was the Blazes’ starting pitcher and he earned the win on the mound. Shawn McAlpine had three hits to pace Westbrook’s 13-hit attack.

Gorham is also 2-1 after Tuesday’s 8-5 win over Sanford. Pitcher Andrew Dean picked up the win.

Jon Dahms, Justin Grandmaison and John Mitchell all contributed two hits to lead the offensive charge for the Rams. Grandmaison also knocked in three runs.

Bonny Eagle drops two

The Bonny Eagle baseball team is 0-2 after loss to Cheverus on Tuesday and Kennebunk on Saturday.

The Scots scored five runs in the first inning against the Stags, but were unable to add any more. Cheverus rallied with three in the third and three more runs in the fourth to get the win.

Kevin McDonough and Nate Jewell had two hits each for the Scots.

“Casey McKague threw well, but Cheverus tagged him for six earned runs. They pounded the ball.,” said Bonny Eagle coach Michael Connolly.

At Kennebunk on Saturday, the Scots were unable to generate much offense. “Not getting outside during the pre-season has really affected us,” said Coach Connolly. “(Our) bats were pretty ineffective.”

Scott Lyon and Travis Dunn each had doubles to drive in runs and Casey McKague hit his first home run.

Ryan Walker started the game and Kyle Myers completed it with two scoreless innings of relief.
