Deer Isle—The boys baseball team beat a much improved Machias team 9-8 on May 26. They pitched their ace pitcher and hit the ball much better as we traded the lead back and forth until we scored 2 runs in the top of the seventh and held them in the bottom of the inning for the win. Tobey Snow and Silas Bates combined for our pitching.
Myles Brown had a double and 2 singles, Tobey Snow and Mason Oliver each had a double and a single, Silas Bates had 2 singles, and Robby Turner had a double.
The boys lost to George Stevens 8-2 on May 30. Mason Oliver and Myles Brown combined for the pitching. We were not as sharp in the field with many throwing errors. Mason Oliver and Kinsey Bartlett each had a double, and Stephen Cochrane, Tobey Snow and Silas Bates each had a single.

The boys end the season with a 4-12 record in 10th place and are playing better. We have a tough schedule and have had a lot of close games with some of the top teams and just need to stay focused. We played Greater Houlton Christian in a preliminary game on June 6, which we won 6-0.
Our next stop was at Husson University against Bangor Christian High School on June 7 in a quarterfinal contest. The Mariners lost 0-6 to end their season 4-13.
Editor’s note: This story was corrected June 9—the DIS team faced Bangor Christian in a quarterfinal, not semifinal, game, and updated to reflect the result of that game.
