Seawolves Down Dean

South Portland - The Seawolves picked up two wins today in double header action against NJCAA member Dean College. In a close fought, low scoring battle the Seawolves overcame the Bulldogs in game one by a score of 2-0. The second game saw more productivity on the offensive end of the game as both teams put up more runs but the Seawolves still came away with the win, prevailing 6-3. 

After 3.5 innings of game one, thanks to excellent team defense by both teams the score was dead locked at 0-0 until Seawolves' shortstop Ethan Bilderback (Annapolis, MD) nailed a double to bat in first baseman Zachary Horton (South Portland, ME), giving the Seawolves a one run advantage. Later in the inning pitcher Andrew Rascoe (Fryeburg, ME) was walked, advanced to second by an Adam Volkernick (Rumford, ME) single and brought home by second baseman Lucas Watson (Portland, ME) to put the Seawolves on top two. SMCC held Dean scoreless for the remainder of the game, coming away with the 2-0 victory. 

Seawolves' lead off batter for game two, Jon Daniszewski (Laconia, NH) singled during his first at bat and then stole second to get himself in scoring position for when center fielder Alex Brown (Weymouth, MA) belted a double to bring him home. Brown would also score in the first inning, as would Horton to put the Seawolves up 3-0 after only one inning of play. The Bulldogs put up two in the third and one in the fifth to knot the game at three runs each. In the bottom of the fifth on full count Horton singled and became the go ahead run when first baseman Tim Andersen (Beverly, MA) batted him home. The Seawolves put up three more run in the sixth and seventh innings to take the game by a score of 7-3. 

With these wins the Seawolves continue to improve to 16-17 overall. They will be back in action on Wednesday April 23rd at Northern Essex Community College at 3:30pm.
