The 2014 edition of Boothbay Region High School Seahawks baseball took to the diamond for the first time this spring against outside competition on Monday, April 28 in the season opener at Carrabec.

The host Cobras put up nine runs in the first three innings on their way to an 11-1 win over the Seahawks and first-year head coach Matt Brewer.

"The core group I have here have a great attitude and love to compete," said Brewer.

The varsity is led by veterans Julian Aponte and Anthony Maulolo. Jacob Ripley, Brad Drummond and Zack Vise, who will be the primary starters on the mound.

Pretty much everything is an experiment at this point, said Brewer.

Carter Babcock will see action at either second or third base, with Aponte playing shortstop when he is not pitching. Aponte, in a relief appearance on Monday, gave up just two runs and two hits and struck out three in three and a third innings.

"We just have to get some more action under belts to see who fits best where," said Brewer.

The Seahawks will host Dirigo on Wednesday, April 30 and Madison on Friday, May 2.
