Lady Seawolves Drop Pair in Season Opener

Cocoa Beach, FL - The Lady Seawolves traveled south to open up the 2014 spring season against St. Cloud Technical and Community College (SCTCC), followed by a game against County College of Morris (CCM). In the first game SCTCC came out strong and pulled away from the Lady Seawolves early to come up with a 9-1 victory in five innings. Against County College of Morris the Lady Seawolves faired slightly better on the offensive end, putting two runs on the scoreboard, but CCM prevailed after six innings by a score of 10-2.

In game one the Lady Seawolves scored their lone run in the first inning off a Roberta Trafton (Corinth, ME) single followed by a single from infielder Lindsey Howell (Limington, ME) who went three for three during the contest, advancing Trafton to second base. Trafton then stole third which was followed by a Kathryn Gilio (Hampden, ME) walk to load the bases. Newcomer Anita Allard (Parsonsfield, ME) batted in Trafton to give the Seawolves a 1-0 lead to start the game. But SCTCC came storming back on a 9-0 run to pull out a 9-1 victory. The Lady Seawolves tallied nine hits for the game. 

In the second contest again the Seawolves struck first, scoring two runs in the opening inning. Shannon Blanchard (Windsor, ME) and Gilio each got on base by error. With runners on first and second Howell singled to advance the runners and load the bases. Blanchard and Gilio both scored off pass balls, putting SMCC on top 2-0. CCM tied the game in the fourth inning and then pulled ahead 3-2 before having a monster sixth inning where they put seven runs on the scoreboard as CCM overcame SMCC 10-2.
