Owls Sweep Buccaneers in Framingham

FRAMINGHAM, Mass – Maine-Presque Isle stopped in to Framingham on their way back to Maine to take on the Bucs at Framingham State in a double header Sunday afternoon. Though Maritime started strong in both games, they ended up falling to the Owls in five innings in both games, 10-2 and 15-1.

 

Game One

How It Happened

Preque-Isle scored twice in the top of the first in game one but, the Bucs matched them in the bottom of the inning when junior captain Madison Ovadek (Greenland, N.H.) singled to drive in Melissa Cochrane (Walpole, Mass) and junior Jenna Nalette (Gofftown, N.H.) singled, driving in freshman Malarie Pittsley (Dighton, Mass). That was the end of the scoring for Maritime as Owls pitcher Brookelynn Garcia shut down the Buccaneer offense. The Owls, however, would place eight more runs to take a 10-2 lead, the score that would eventually earn them the five inning, mercy rule win.
