SCARBOROUGH — Down 3-1 heading into the sixth inning of Monday’s game with Scarborough, the Thornton Academy Golden Trojans erased the deficit with one swing of the bat as Libby Pomerleau smacked a two-run homer to make it 3-3.

Unfortunately for the Trojans (4-1), the homestanding Red Storm (4-0) came right back with a run in the bottom of the sixth and held on from there to take a 4-3 win in a rematch of last year’s Western Maine Regional Championship.

“It was a great game today, a great effort from both sides and at the end of the day it’s a one-run game,” said Thornton Academy coach John Provost.

Scarborough used a double from Abbie Murrell and a bloop single from Kaleigh Scoville to push the winning run across in the sixth. Sophomore pitcher Lilly Volk then shut down Thornton in the top of the seventh to preserve the victory.

The Red Storm, which improved to 4-0 with the win, also took down Thornton in the regular season last year, but then fell to the Trojans in the regional final.

Despite the history between the two teams, Provost saw Monday’s contest as “just another game.”

“Everyone talks about Scarborough, Scarborough, Scarborough, but this is just one of the games on our schedule and ultimately you want to be playing well the last week of the season heading into the playoffs,” said Provost.

Thornton’s other run came courtesy of starting pitcher Bailey Tremblay, who helped her own cause by knocking home Maizie Lee, who started the fourth inning with a double.

Tremblay put together another solid performance in the circle as the standout allowed eight hits and fanned three.

Scarborough was led by shortstop Chloe Gorey, who hit her first career home run and also added an RBI single in the win.
