Raiders Secure Spot in State Final
The Washington Academy Raiders captured the Class C North Baseball Championship with a decisive 4‑0 victory over the Mattanawcook Academy Lynx, showcasing a blend of disciplined pitching and tight defensive play.
Senior right‑hander Colby Moholland, who anchored the rotation, emphasized the team's focus on executing pitches and limiting baserunners, a strategy that proved effective throughout the tournament.
Building on that momentum, the Raiders are set to meet Monmouth Academy in the statewide title game, a rematch of last year's 9‑1 defeat that left a lingering desire for redemption.
The championship contest is scheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m. at Bangor’s historic Mansfield Stadium, a venue that has witnessed many of the team's most memorable moments.
Monmouth Academy earned its place in the final by dispatching Maranacook Community School 12‑1 in just five innings, underscoring their offensive firepower and setting the stage for a compelling showdown.
