The Boothbay Region High School baseball team’s playoff run was cut short June 6 with a 2-1 loss at Lisbon. The Class C baseball preliminary tournament game marked the end of the season for the Seahawks.  

“Overall, I think our season went well. The end of the season was really strong,” said coach Ed Crocker, adding they won six of the last 10 regular season games. “The team worked hard, showed a lot of improvement, both defensively and offensively, and their attitude has been great all year.” 

During the game, the Greyhounds were strong out of the gate. According to Crocker, Lisbon’s third batter hit a two-run home run for a 2-0 lead. He said his team was strong on defense the rest of the game, but so were the Greyhounds.

“One bounce or something went our way, we very easily could have won that game,” he said.  

On offense, Seahawk Liam Jacobs scored one run in the fifth inning. BHRS’ Finn Harkins had two hits and Dylan Plummer had one.  

Gryffin Kristan pitched for the Seahawks with nine strikeouts and two earned runs and allowed four hits. 

“The pitching was phenomenal, probably the best pitching game I’ve seen in a long time,” Crocker said. 

Despite the loss, Crocker said his players were, overall, happy they played well against a tough team. This game showed an improvement; the first time the Seahawks played Lisbon this year they lost 9-1.

“After (feeling) the disappointment for the loss, I think they were proud of themselves for what they accomplished,” he said.
