Landon Sirois (Biddeford, Maine) also contributed two RBIs, while Michael Pierce (Greenfield, Mass.) added a hit, RBI, walk, and stolen base. Dom Smith (Biddeford, Maine) reached twice and scored, and Quinntin Gillies (Oshawa, Ontario) sparked the lineup with two walks, a stolen base, and a run.
On the mound, Zach Kassim (Fr.) made the start before turning it over to Carter Collin (Winthrop, Maine), who earned the win with 2.1 innings of work and three strikeouts. Mattias Cobham (Saint John, Canada) closed the door with 1.2 innings of shutout relief and four punchouts to secure the save.
