Portland-Catherine McAuley put together ten hits and a key stolen base to upset Cheverus 13-12. 

 

Windham resident and McAuley Junior Jen Field stole home when Cheverus pitcher Theresa Hendrix looked away while she had the ball.  That play fired up the Lions who started the inning down by eight runs.  Field then batted again and drove in the tying run and scored the winning run on a Kayla Daigle single.

Cheverus started the game with Hendrix cranking a home run and then had three other batters scoring to put McAuley in the hole.  It appeared that McAuley pitcher Jen Field was throwing batting practice through the game. 

 

McAuley’s defense committed six errors which did little to stifle the scoring onslaught the Stags had.  Cheverus’ third baseman, Anna Snook, led the Stags with four runs.

In the seventh, all but one of the McAuley roster scored runs.  It took eight singles and one double to generate the scoring for the Lions.  The upset gives McAuley a large pool of Heal points to start the season. 

 

McAuley’s next game is Monday at Bonny Eagle.
