Claire Fogler spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on eight hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season.

At the plate, Dexter's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Abagail Trafton, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That double marked the first that Trafton has hit this season.

The win made it two in a row for Dexter and bumps their season record up to 4-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 2 run in those games. As for Orono, their loss dropped their record down to 3-3.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Dexter will take on rival Central at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Meanwhile, Orono is set to challenge their familiar foe Mount View at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
