Southern Maine Tips Bowdoin As Baseball Returns To Action

Box Score

WATERVILLE, Maine - In their first game played in Maine this season, the Bowdoin College baseball team suffered a 6-0 setback to the University of Southern Maine in a game played at Colby College on Wednesday evening.

The Polar Bears fall to 6-9 while the Huskies stand at 8-7.

Game Highlights

  • USM scored three times in the third and three times in the sixth to take the shutout victory.
  • A run-scoring single by Matt Bender, followed by a sac fly from Dylan Hapworth and RBI single from Andrew Hillier accounted for the Huskies' runs in the third frame.
  • USM pieced together three more runs in the sixth on a wild pitch, a fielder's choice and a sac fly to double their lead.
  • Bowdoin's best chance to mount a rally came in the sixth, when the first two batters reached base. Relief pitcher Alex Tobey worked out of the jam, however, getting a fly out and two strikeouts to squelch the comeback.

By The Numbers

  • USM's Tyler Leavitt went 5.0 innings, scattering four hits and striking out five to earn the victory.
  • Bowdoin used ten pitchers in the nine-inning game, with Colby Lewis taking the loss due to the three-run third by the Huskies.
