Gorham’s baseball team has finished the regular season at 12-3 and is seeded second in the most recent West A Heal Point standings. Not only do the Rams have a bye into the regional quarterfinals that begin next Thursday, but they also get an opportunity to win the conference championship.

The Rams will host Portland in a Southwestern Maine Activities Association playoff game on Thursday, May 31. The winner will advance to play one of the other two semifinalists – Deering (14-1) or Marshwood (10-5). Gorham topped Portland by a 3-2 score earlier in the season and one of their three losses was at Deering back on May 4.

Westbrook headed to tourney

The Westbrook baseball team (8-7) has also qualified for the post-season. The Blazes will likely be the No. 6 or No. 7 team when the final Heal Point standings are released on Thursday, May 31, and that means they’ll host a prelim round game on Tuesday afternoon against either the No. 10 or No. 11 seeded team. (At the moment, Biddeford and Scarborough were in the 10 and 11 spots.)

The Blazes lost three of their last four regular season games, but they’re capable of beating anyone in the league. They defeated No. 2 Gorham early in the season and they just barely got beat by No. 3 Portland on May 22, losing a close 4-2 decision.

A win by the Blazes on Tuesday would get them into the regional quarterfinals, which are scheduled to be played on Thursday, June 7.

Scots finish frustrating season

Bonny Eagle’s baseball team ended the regular season with a 1-14 record, well out of contention for a tournament berth. The Scots lost a number of close games this spring and are better than their record indicates, but they were unable to turn those narrow losses into victories until they surprised Scarborough for a 10-4 win in May 23.

Ryan Walker and Nate Jewell led the way offensively with two hits each to pace the Scots’ 13-hit attack. Casey McKague went the distance on the mound limiting the Scots to just six hits.
