The Windham Eagles (9-8) baseball team traveled to Standish to face off against the Bonny Eagle Scots (11-6) last Tuesday in the Western Class A preliminary game. Eagles senior Tanner Laberge has only lost one game in two seasons and continued his winning road streak pitching against the Scots.
The Eagles
trailed 2-0 going into the third having hit a batter to place him on base and
botching a rundown. However, in true Windham style the Eagles didn’t take this
as a sign that the game was over and struck back. Tim Greenlaw was able to able
to get a run in with an RBI single. Windham then took the lead in the fourth
chalking up two runs. Freshman Tanner Bernier doubled to right to tie the game
and Freshman Mike Gilman sacrificed a fly ball to center driving home Zach
Alpern.
Bonny Eagle
only managed to get one more hit in the last four innings of the game. While
the Eagles Laberge only got stronger as the game went on ending with a five
hitter and seven strikeouts. Bonny Eagle had one more chance in the sixth to
tie the game with two outs; however, shortstop Mike Gilman threw to third
baseman Tanner Bernier for the out, bring the game to an end.
Tough
quarterfinal loss for the Eagles
The young Eagle
baseball team traveled to Marshwood to play in this year’s quarterfinal game. The
Eagles faced off against the Marshwood Hawkes (14-3). Windham (9-9) had only
three returning players from last season: Tanner Laberge, Josh Dugas and Zach
Alpern. Though the team is young they played a good season and became stronger
as the season progressed.
The 13-1 loss
was a tough game for the Eagles but they put up a fight until the end. Marshwood
started the game strong and didn’t give Windham the opening they were striving
for. Sophomore Tim Greenlaw who has had a good season had a pair of singles for
Windham. Freshman Mike Gilman and Senior Ryan Gorman pitched for the Eagles.
