While Skowhegan's win against Lawrence wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The River Hawks narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Bulldogs 3-1. The win was a breath of fresh air for the River Hawks as it put an end to their four-game losing streak.
Silas Tibbetts spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up 12 Ks.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Trevor Austin, who went 3-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Skowhegan kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since back in April of 2024.
