Sydney Hatch drove in Brooklyn Scott in with a base hit as Hampden Academy escaped with an 8-7 extra-inning win over Brunswick in Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference high school softball action on Monday.
Hampden Academy built a 7-5 advantage in the visiting half of the seventh inning before the Dragons rallied to tie the game on a close play at home plate.

Both Sullivan and Armstrong advanced on another wild pitch. With two outs Bailey Hartill delivered a clutch base hit to left field, plating Sullivan.
