The Shoreland League playoffs will come down to the final game after the Casco A's rallied for two runs in the bottom of the eighth to beat Denmark 5-4.
The A's took a 3-0 lead with one run in the first inning and two in the third inning behind a homer from Phillip Daniels and an error. The Devilbears did not go away quietly, getting single tallies in the fifth and sixth inning before taking the lead in the seventh on a sacrifice bunt and a bases loaded walk. With the season hanging in the balance, the A's took the lead back for good in the eighth inning thanks to RBI single by Owen Deprez and a Mitch Jandrin sacrifice fly. Noah Lindsley allowed the tying run on in the ninth, but retired the final two batters to earn the win and a winner-take-all game on Thursday.
Daniels and Casey Weddig each recorded two hits while Daniels, Deprez, and Jandrin were responsible for the RBI. Lindsley allowing no runs on one hit and a walk in 2.1 innings of relief for Colin Lacey, who allowed four runs (3 ER) on seven hits and six walks while striking out 10 during his 6.2 innings of work.
The championship series finale is set for Casco Village Park at 7:30 p.m.
