Orono, Maine- Taylor Lewis brings the University of Maine baseball team to a 7-2 win over Bates at the Mahaney, Diamond Orono Maine with the first score of the game the triple base hits and a triple R.B.I. in the sixth inning. The game began at 5 p.m. Tuesday with a run time of two hours and thirty minutes. The game brings the University of Maine to a 20-16 win lose record for the season.
The game started out slow with no hits in the first inning for either team, Bates came in extremely sluggish with its first three players striking out. The game remained at this pointless standstill until the third inning where Joe Mercurio was run in by Taylor Lewis’s triple to left center.
Bates retaliated with a single run of their own in the beginning of the fourth inning; Gordy Webb ran Chris Burke home with a single to right field.
The stalemate continued between the teams with no runs again until the fifth inning where Umaine advances with a single run again by Joe Mercurio hit in by Taylor Lewis with a triple.
UMaine breaks away with a crushing 5 runs in the beginning of the sixth inning. Matt Howard started the push after being walked to base and stealing home on a wild pitch. Michael Fransoso ran Mykie Lugbauer in with a single. Taylor Lewis sets the match with another triple bringing in the loaded bases.
The game went out the same way it came in slow and relatively pointless. Bates struggles in the eighth inning and manages to get a score, Pat Murphy , after a string of walked players.
All in all this game came down to the one inning for the University of Maine Bears, the sixth where they managed to get 5 runs. Taylor Lewis , a Sophomore and labeled Maine Scholar Athlete “ Rising Star”, dominated the field with his three triples and 4 RBI’s. He is truly living up to the expectations put on him.
