Medomak Middle School Captures Busline League Championship with 17-0 Shutout
The championship game unfolded at the neutral site in Newcastle, Maine, where the Riverhawks opened the scoring with two runs in each of the first three innings, establishing a 6‑0 advantage before Medomak’s fourth‑inning explosion turned the contest into a rout.
Nathan Day led the offensive onslaught, delivering a triple and two singles while crossing the plate three times and driving in three runs, a performance that underscored his all‑around impact.
Gavin Burns complemented Day’s effort with three singles of his own, scoring two runs and adding an RBI, helping the team amass a total of eleven runs in the decisive inning.
Gillespie’s Shutout and Strikeout Mastery
On the mound, Gardner Gillespie delivered a two‑hit shutout, striking out eight batters and limiting Great Salt Bay to just two runs over five innings, a display that sealed the victory and exemplified the team’s balanced attack.
The final tally featured 14 hits by the Riverhawks, 21 stolen bases in five innings, and a defensive effort that never allowed the opposition to mount a comeback, cementing the 17‑0 result as one of the most dominant performances in recent league history.
Great Salt Bay’s lone hits came from Wilder Hanley and Masen Michaud, while starting pitcher David Osier surrendered four runs on six hits, two walks and a single strikeout before being relieved.
