4-run fifth key for Searsport Vikings’ Webster snuffs out sixth-inning rally by Eagles

loading...

BLUE HILL – Nicole Shute’s two-run triple, Lura Carroll’s RBI double, and Lindsey Seekins’ run-scoring single supplied Searsport with all of their runs in the fifth inning Tuesday and Tara Lee Webster scattered four hits as the Searsport High School softball team triumphed 4-1 over George Stevens Academy.

Webster fanned three and walked two for the Vikings.

Singles by Nickie Boutin, Sarah Clapp, and Rachael Wardwell and Nikki Keniston’s RBI groundout produced the Eagles’ run in the sixth, but Webster induced a popup and got a strikeout to end the threat.

Jessie Conley pitched well in defeat, also fashioning a four-hitter with three strikeouts and two walks. All four runs were unearned.
