He was the offensive leader with two singles, with teammates Michael Hunter and Dustin DeMerchant notching one each.
In the other game, No. 2 CFCU was bounced by Cushman’s of PI, 12-6. Mason Huck drilled a two-run homer in the first inning to get CFCU off to a good start. Noah Frost scored twice and Zach Wright and Connor Plourde once each. Casey McCrossin added an RBI.
Spencer McDuffie started on the mound and was handed the loss after going three innings. Frost, Riley McDuffie and Dan Randolph also did some pitching for CFCU.
RBD ended up beating Cushman’s in the Aug. 8 championship, 7-1, to earn Aroostook County bragging rights.
