Bangor E. to play for title Championship set today in Augusta

AUGUSTA – Drew Powell and Ethan Dorman combined on a one-hit shutout to power Bangor East by Ellsworth 5-0 in an elimination game at the state Little League All-Star baseball tourney for ages 9-10 Tuesday.

Bangor East advances to the championship round against Cape Elizabeth scheduled for today at 5:30 p.m.

Cape Elizabeth is unbeaten in the double-elimination tourney, so a Bangor East win would force a second game for the title on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. A Cape win on Wednesday gives it the title.

Ryan Brookings posted two singles and an RBI while Ben Crichton had a double for Bangor East.

Alex Braley hit a triple for Ellsworth.

Saco advanced to today’s elimination-round game against South Portland at 5 p.m. The winner of that game advances to Thursday’s championship round against unbeaten Calais (3-0) at 3 p.m.

A Calais victory gives it the state title while a loss forces a second game later that day for the title.
