Falmouth- Windham’s Junior Legion Team finally took to the field Friday night after several rain postponed games.  A handful of teams in their conference have played up to six games already.  Two had not.  Falmouth took advantage and scored a few quick runs early on to set the pace for the night.  Windham pitcher Devin Lailer could do little as the Falmouth bats found contact and put the ball in play.  Windham committed five errors in the game.  Lailer would still have three earned runs charged to him.

Windham countered in the second inning when Robbie Hamilton swatted a ball over the left field fence to drive in Windham’s only two runs.  However, the Windham offense was stifled by the Falmouth pitching and the Junior Legion team dropped to 0-1 on the new born season.

 

Freeport-Saturday morning, Windham faced Freeport and dropped a close game 2-1 at Freeport.  Morgan Sawyer pitched for the Windham Junior Legion squad. 

 

Monday’s Junior Legion game in Cumberland has been postponed until July 10.
