Baseball drops close one to Kennebunk

Kennebunk came out of the gate firing on all cylinders, cruising by on defense, and then stringing up a few hit to take a 3-0 at the end of the first inning. Freeport would battle back, picking up a run before tying the game at 3 in the fifth. Kennebunk responded with 2 more of their own in the bottom of the fifth and got to the 7th fairly smoothly. But it looked as though trouble would arise when Max Doughty got a single and tacked on an extra base due to an errant throw by the third baseman, and Jack Davenport hit a double to send Max in and cut the lead to 1. But it was not to be. Even with the bases loaded and 1 out, Freeport couldn't find that fifth run to tie the game for the second time, and it ended 5-4. Freeport now turns their attention to Lake Region, home on Wednesday

Freeport Grils Lacrosse rolling

Freeport Girls lacrosse, after dropping the first four games of the year, have strung two wins in a row, against Wells and Gardiner and are holding a playoff spot for the first time this year. (Gonna be honest, writing this without seeing the games is somewhat hard. That and I am in a class. Shhhhhh ;)

Anyways, Freeport has had leading goal scorers in Senior Midfielder Emily Johnson and Junior Attack/Mid Courtney Broderick with 7 goals a piece. Emily has also leads with 3 assists and 23 ground balls and 16 draw controls. Backing the team has been junior netminder Sam Jordan who has a .406 save percentage and a 11.4 GAA.

I am going to try and figure out how I want to do the updates on lacrosse, so I leave you with this. Freeport will be playing at home on Tuesday (tomorrow), 4pm against Morse (currently 2nd place at 4-2). Be loud, be proud, and go Falcons!
