PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – Run production wasn’t a big problem for the University of Maine’s baseball team this weekend as the Black Bears scored 47 runs to sweep two doubleheaders from Pace University, 14-0 and 18-12 Saturday and 7-4/8-3 on Sunday.

Mike Livulpi led the Bears offensively with a double, single, two runs scored and three RBIs. Joe Drapeau of Biddeford also had three RBIs with two singles.

The Bears banged out 16 hits as catcher Alain Picard had a double, two singles and two RBIs. Brett Ouellette and Pat Tobin each had two singles.

In the second game, Maine found itself down 7-0, but a seven-run fourth and a nine-run seventh turned things around. Portland’s Simon Williams hit two home runs in the seventh to pace the Bears.

Williams went 3-for-4 with five RBIs. His first homer was a two-run shot with no outs and his second was a three-run blast with two outs in the seventh.

Picard had four hits including a double for two RBIs. Livulpi chipped in with a double, two singles, and three RBIs as Maine belted out 19 hits.

Despite yielding a run and three walks in one inning of relief, Paul Broder notched the win.

In Sunday’s first game, Drapeau hit a solo home run along with a double and single to help pace the Bears. Picard had two singles and two RBIs. Livulpi (three steals) and Williams each had two hits. Rich Laganiere allowed four earned runs despite giving up nine hits in 5? innings and notched the win.

Mike Ross had a double, two singles, two stolen bases, and an RBI to help pace the Black Bears, who got out to a 5-3 lead and never looked back.

Shelby Langford went 3-for-4 with an RBI to lead the Setters’ offense.

In the second game, Drapeau went 3-for-4 with another solo homer and a double as Maine built a 5-1 lead in the first four innings. Livulpi, Picard and Williams each had two hits as the Black Bears finished up with 56 hits in the four-game weekend set.
