Oaks Thwart Pilots, 5-4
The Orono Oaks topped the Denver Pilots, 5-4, in Stripes Conference action at University of Maine Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Orono pitcher and Breckenridge, Texas, native Colin Esser. Orono reliever Nick Calvache got the win, raising his record to 7-4. Tom Capasso was tagged with the loss. Chase Collins was credited with the save for Orono, his 10th of the season.

Orono took a 5-4 lead on Ian Cason's 21st double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Cason hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Denver pitcher Tom Capasso visibly frustrated.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Orono manager Mike Sanchez. "It's usually not just one thing."

The Pilots, now 52-66, have lost 4 straight.
