Seawolves Swept in Fight for 302 Challenge Cup

North Bridgton, ME. The Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) baseball team traveled to North Bridgton, ME to compete against Bridgton Academy (BA) for the 302 Challenge Cup. After losing the first game at home in the best of three series, the Seawolves hit the road to try and earn two victories to take home the trophy. Their dreams fell short as Bridgton won 7-4, sweeping the series. The Seawolves got on the board first scoring a run in the first inning but the Wolverines answered quickly scoring 3 runs during their first at bat. The Seawolves were able to tack on a few runs in the 6^th inning trying to mount a comeback but the Wolverines had already scored enough to hold them off.
