Maine Topples Boston, 10-0
Maine defeated Boston, 10-0, in large part due to 24-year old left fielder Tyler Tolbert. Tolbert drove in 3 runs. The left fielder had 1 double and 1 home run for the Pines. Matt Graham earned the win for Maine. He lasted 6 innings, allowing no runs on 5 hits, while striking out 7. With the win, he raised his record to 1-0. Earning his 1st save of the year was Jeff Weingart.

Maine used a clutch at-bat from Josh Alcorn to capture the win. The designated hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Pines ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Good pitching and timely hitting is a recipe for success," said Alcorn.

Boston falls to 0-3.
