Dirigo 11, Telstar 0; May 30-A strong Dirigo team defeated the Rebels. Alyssa Wade, the Cougar pitcher, held the Rebels to only 4 hits and did not walk a batter. For the Rebels, Taylor Savage, Rachael Wheeler, Ellie Conrad had singles and Jessica Dirago had a long double for the only Telstar offense. The Rebels hit the ball but mostly at the Dirigo defense and they played errorless ball. Walks and errors led to a 7 run 5th inning that was the Telstar demise. The team finishes at 7-7 for the season. A 5-2 record in the second half of the season enabled the young team to finish 6th in the Heal points and they will play a quarterfinal game on the road next Thursday.-Coach Jim Lunney
