OLD TOWN- Bangor scored eight times in the fifth inning, rallying from a 3-0 deficit to pick up their first win of the season with an 8-4 victory over Old Town/Orono in a Senior Legion baseball game on Monday evening.
Jack Brewer hadn’t given up a hit in the first four innings for the Twins and was staked to a 3-0 lead, but the Comrades changed that in a hurry in that big rally in the fifth. Zac Cota hit a leadoff solo homerun to leftfield, and Bangor did most of their damage with two outs going ahead for good 4-3 on a two-run throwing error by Old Town/Orono third baseman Caleb Tidwell. Jonas Gilley provided the game winning RBI single. Cota had two hits and two runs driven in to lead the Comrades (1-3). Preston Karam and Cole Fernald both had one hit, one RBI, and scored a run. Mathieu Turcotte got the pitching win going 5.0 innings allowing four runs (one earned) on three hits with three walks and eight strikeouts. Kason Bagley and Jack Brawn each had a hit and a RBI for Old Town/Orono (1-2), while Bradly Dill scored two runs. Brewer was tagged with the loss on the hill as he was charged for six runs (two earned) on five hits with two walks and three strikeouts in 4.2 innings of work.
