Seawolves Roll Past Roxbury, Extend Win Streak to Six with Doubleheader Sweep

GAME ONE

ROXBURY, Mass. — Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) softball opened its doubleheader vs Roxbury with a 27–0 victory on Sunday afternoon at Madison Park High School Athletic Fields.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

The Seawolves wasted no time jumping in front, plating seven runs in the opening inning. Ariana Cross (Orrington, Maine) sparked the offense with an inside-the-park home run, while a combination of timely hits and Roxbury miscues helped SMCC build early separation.

SMCC continued to pour it on in the second inning, tallying eight more runs to extend the lead to 15–0. Jayden Tripp (Prospect, Maine) added an inside-the-park home run, Emma Hartt (Edmonton, Alberta) delivered an RBI triple, and Drea Rideout (Yarmouth, Maine) capped the inning with a two-run home run.

The offense stayed hot in the third, scoring six more runs behind continued pressure on the basepaths and defensive miscues.

SMCC added five more runs in the fourth inning, highlighted by a three-run home run off the bat of Sloan Scotvold (Red Deer, Alberta, Canada), who finished with a game-high seven RBI.

In the circle, Scotvold was equally efficent. The sophomore tossed a complete-game shutout, allowing just two hits while striking out 10 over five innings.

The Seawolves finished with 19 hits in the game and did not commit an error defensively.
