Owls Down Seawolves in Double Header

South Portland - Despite grabbing an early lead in both games this afternoon, the Lady Seawolves fell to the Owls of UMaine - Presque Isle 4-2 in game one and 9-7 in game two.

In the opening game Lady Seawolves' third baseman Shannon Blanchard (Windsor, ME) drilled a two RBI double to centerfield, bringing home teammates Abigail Nielsen (North Yarmouth, ME) and Anna Allard (Parsonsfield, ME) and giving SMCC the early 2-0 lead. UMPI put up one run in the fourth but the Lady Seawolves were able to hold the 2-1 lead until the sixth inning when UMPI proceeded to rattle off three runs and take the 4-2 advantage. An impressive pitching outing by by Owls' pitcher Sarah Packard left the Seawolves scoreless as the Owls picked up the win.

In game two the Owls picked up a run in each of the first two innings to take the 2-0 lead but the Seawolves fired back with four runs in the bottom of the second thanks to some creative base running and a double from catcher Amber Jones (Deer Isle, ME). SMCC's Danielle Mobbs (Richmond, VT) tacked on one more run in the third to give the Seawolves a three run advantage before the Owls' dominated in the fourth, putting up seven runs and taking a 9-5 lead, which the Seawolves would never overcome. The Owls went on to grab the 9-7 win. SMCC's offense was led by right fielder Erica Brochu (Lewiston, ME) who went 2-3 at the plate with two stolen bases, a double and two runs. 

The Lady Seawolves will take the field again tomorrow at Dean College for a double header at 12 and 2pm.
