| Team | Final |
|---|---|
| Pingree | 6 |
| Berwick | 3 |
A big first inning was the perfect scenario for a Pingree team that desperately wanted to achieve its first goal of the season Saturday afternoon.
The Highlanders scored four times in the first and held on for a 6-3 win over Berwick Academy to seal their 13th Eastern Independent League title in the last 15 years.
"When you get off the bus and put four (runs) on the board right away you put the other team in a hole pretty quickly," Pingree (13-2) coach Chris Powers said. "Taking care of one of the goals is a satisfying thing, and it's just one step. We're trying to get back to the New England tournament and repeat as champions."
Senior Ben McLaughlin went 2 for 3 with a solo homer and three RBIs to lead Pingree, while Dillon Vassallo and Mike Lamothe each had one hit and one RBI. Senior Jesse Sullivan allowed three hits and no runs over six inning while striking out seven for the Highlanders.
