Seahawks game rained out May 20
The Boothbay Region High School boys varsity baseball game for Monday, May 20 has been postponed and will be played at a later date.
The Seahawks were scheduled to host Hall-Dale at 4:30 p.m., but the game was rained out. A reschedule date has not been set.
The Seahawks are coming off consecutive losses to Mt. Abram and against rival Wiscasset.
Boothbay fell, 9-2, May 17 against Mt. Abram on the road, and 12-2 May 15 against Wiscasset at home.
The Wiscasset-Boothbay game saw a tightly contested match between two Midcoast rivals.
The score was 4-1 in favor of Wiscasset going into the fifth inning, with starter Nate Colcord mixing pitches and escaping jams.
Wiscasset scored three runs in the first thanks to a booming, two-run double by Wiscasset shortstop Dylan McMahon, but Colcord was able to escape the inning.
Boothbay was poised to make a splash in the fourth; after Linc Simmons walked to open the inning, Nick Kilgus singled and Jesse Peters drew a walk.
Zach Vice then ripped a single to right-center, which allowed pinch-runner Xavier Downing to score. Kilgus, who was on second, broke for home but was called out on a play that could have gone either way and another runner was thrown out trying to reach third, allowing Wiscasset to escape the bases-loaded jam with only one run scored.
Wiscasset's bats came alive in the fifth inning, when the Wolverines tacked-on eight runs and put the game out of reach.
Boothbay would tack on one more run in the bottom of the fifth when Julian Aponte reached on a fielder's choice and scored after Colcord scalded a ball into the outfield. Colcord would be thrown out at third to end the game.
Wiscasset starting pitcher Chandler Longfellow was able to hold the Seahawks to four hits and one run in four innings with six strikeouts.
