Machias Savings downs Police

     Machias Savings Bank came back from a 1-0 deficit to capture the Caribou Little League championship.   

     MSB, representing the National Division, lost the opening game played last Wednesday, 6-5, but rebounded to win game two on Friday, 6-3, and the deciding third game Saturday, 12-4.

     With the series tied, it came down to Saturday morning’s contest and early on it featured a pitchers’ duel between Police’s Dylan Bouchard and MSB’s Zack Madore.

     Madore ended up combining with Carson Poitras on the mound and the duo gave up just two hits in the contest while striking out nine.

     At the plate for MSB, Camryn Ala went 3 for 4 with a single, double and triple. Dan Lister tripled, Madore doubled and Dawson St. Pierre contributed a clutch single for the winning offense. Defensively, St. Pierre recorded the final putout by catching a pop fly from his second base position. Ala also starred in the field with a stellar performance at catcher.
