The Wolverines scored two runs in the fourth inning but came up short, losing 6-2 to visiting Mountain Valley Friday at WMHS.

Paige Adams drove in Farrah Casey with a base hit and later in the inning Natalie Potter scored, making it a 4-2 ballgame.

The Falcons, who scored one run in the first and two more in the second, added single runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings.

August Moore pitched a complete game for the Wolverines finishing with three strikeouts allowing just three hits. Wiscasset went quietly in the home half of the fifth inning, but in the sixth Adams drew a one-out walk. The Falcon pitcher then retired the next two hitters.

One of the craziest plays of the game came with Mountain Valley batting in the fifth. The lead-off batter stroked a triple to left and attempted to stretch the hit into a home run. She was tagged out at the plate by catcher Corey Campbell but the umpire then ruled her safe, saying the third baseman had interfered with the runner.

Bulldogs roar

At Madison April 26, the Bulldogs shutout the Wolverines 21-0.

Maeve Blodgett got the Wolverines’ only hit, a single over the third baseman’s head in the fifth inning.

Madison scored six runs in the second on four walks, a double and two singles. In the third inning, Lindsey Gordon took the mound working in relief of Moore, the starting pitcher. Gordon finished with seven walks and a strikeout.

Madeline Wood, the Madison pitcher, had 10 strikeouts.
