AUGUSTA – Nichole Searles singled, doubled and tripled to back up Jen Wardwell’s pitching and lead the Skowhegan Lady Indians to a 12-1 victory over Salem, N.H., in the New England American Softball Association age 16 and under regional championship Sunday.

Wardwell pitched the complete game for the 5-0 Lady Indians, striking out 6 and allowing only 6 hits. She pitched all five games over a period of 3 days for Skowhegan.
