Sanford 3, Keene 0

Severino throws first pitch.

Keene starting pitcher Dominic Severino and his Sanford counterpart, Richard Vrana were in a pitcher’s duel through 4 innings Tuesday.

 In the top of the fifth, 2^nd baseman Sam Dexter singled and catcher Kendall Patrick pushed Dexter to 2^nd base while retired on a 6-3 groundout. Then 1^st baseman Matt Harris crashed a two- run home run and the Sanford Mainers went on to defeat the Swamp Bats 3-0 Tuesday night.

Bret Dennis broke up Richard Vrana’s bid for a no-hitter in the bottom of the 7^th with a strongly-hit single.

Perhaps the most dazzling feat of the night was the catch made by Swamp Bats pitcher Michael Dunnigan. 

Coaching first base, Dunnigan made a nifty, if not pins-and-needles, sympathy pain- inducing, two-handed grab of a foul ball.

The deciding game of this three game series takes place at Sanford’s Goodall Park @ 6:30 pm Wednesday.
