Bangor finishes second

At Tom’s River, N.J., a team of Bangor area teens finished as the runnerup by just three runs at the Lightning Strikes Classic invitational tournament.

Lightning may not have struck, but plenty of rain did, washing out all of Sunday’s tourney action and the anticipated game between the only tourney unbeatens: Bangor and the New York City Sharks.

As a result, the Sharks were proclaimed the winners since they scored three more runs than Bangor in three victories.

In Saturday’s first game, Stacey Gomm pitched a five-hitter while Taylor Lauritsen had a single and two RBIs, and Katy MacDonald singled for one RBI in Bangor’s 4-2 victory over the South New Jersey Outlaws.

In the second game, MacDonald threw a two-hitter and drove in a run with a single to pace Bangor to a 3-2 win over the Brooklyn (N.Y.) Cyclones.

Jamie Gomm hit a two-run double to highlight a three-run third inning.

In the third game, Jamie Gomm came a seventh inning Amy Jackman single away from a no-hitter as she struck out seven batters and walked one. Gomm’s sacrifice fly scored sister Stacey, who singled, stole second, and went to third on a passed ball, in the third. Stacey Gomm and Lauritsen each hit RBI singles in the sixth.
