The Casco A's captured their first Shoreland League title since 2005 on Thursday with a 4-1 victory over Denmark in game three of their championship series.
The A's wasted no time to get ahead, scoring twice in the opening frame on a Trevor Reinhardt groundout and a Mitch Jandrin single. The Devilbears cut the lead in half in the fourth inning on an RBI double by Rheis Johnson, but the A's added two runs of insurance in the eighth inning on a homer by Phillip Daniels to stretch their lead back out. Reinhardt allowed the tying run to get to the plate in the ninth inning, but induced the title-clinching ground out to cue the celebration.
The A's were outhit 8-5 with Daniels, Jandrin, Kordell Draves, Casey Weddig, and Cole Bzdawka securing the hits. Noah Lindsley earned the win on the mound, allowing seven of the Devilbears' eight hits, but limited them to one runs (1 ER) while striking out five across 7.1 innings before Reinhardt collected the save.
