The Boothbay Region High School Seahawks finished a disappointing season on a high note defeating the Wiscasset Middle High School Wolverines 11-1 on Thursday, May 30.

Coach Ed Crocker featured his graduating seniors who combined improved fielding with a strong, complete game pitching performance by senior Brett Hollowell for the win.

The Seahawk offense produced two runs in the first inning.

Hollowell and senior Wyatt Timberlake both crossed the plate on a ground ball by Hunter Crocker. 

The Seahawks built on their lead with three runs in the third inning and two in the fifth. It took four runs in the sixth to meet the mercy rule and end the game.

Hollowell went the distance striking out six Wolverines.

He was matched by Wolverine senior Hayden Dunning who struck out a dozen Seahawks but suffered by hitting six batters. Dunning was key in the Wolverines’ only run in the sixth inning. After singling to center, he came home on groundballs by Ryan Potter and Ben Pinkham.

Wiscasset Coach Gregg Wood expressed frustration that previous discussions about combining the two schools for baseball in future years had stalled. He said the current Wolverines team had only been held together by the friendships among the team members.

Before the game, Seahawk seniors Wyatt Timberlake, Brett Hollowell and Will LaBrecque were joined by their parents for the traditional flower ceremony.
