Congratulations to the Acadian Minors All-Star Baseball Team which won their first playoff game on Thursday, June 30th, defeating Calais 5-2. The Acadians are now 1-0 in the double elimination tourney to see who represents District 1 in the Maine Playoffs.

According to the report we received from Eric Ankrom, the Manager of the 9-10 All-Star Team, Noah Keeley pitched 5 1/3 innings, striking out 10, while walking 3 and allowing just 1 run. Evan Ankrom struck out 2 to close out the game in the 6th. Special shout out to the defensive play by Joey Wellman-Clouse at 3rd base that brought both sides to their feet and was worthy of an ESPN Top 10 play!
