Caribou baseball team wins 3
The Caribou Middle School baseball team opened with three convincing victories.
Solid pitching and great defense kept Fort Fairfield on the ropes as seven Caribou pitchers combined for 14 strikeouts in a 20-3 win. On offense, the young Vikes were led by Noah Frost, who had a double and two singles, while Matt Nadeau homered and doubled and Camden Huck added a pair of singles. Josh Quist, Brandon Manter, Hayden Hunter, Spencer McDuffie and Evan Desmond also had hits for Caribou.
Caribou‘s pitching once again was solid against Wisdom, with seven hurlers combining for 18 strikeouts in the 18-0 triumph. The pitchers threw 59 out of 73 pitches for strikes and allowed no walks.
The Vikings had a solid hitting performance, led by Bailey Griffeth’s three hits. Frost, Noah Hixon, Quist and Alex Ezzy each had two hits, while McDuffie, Nadeau and Rosado notched one apiece.
The squad continued its undefeated season by downing Madawaska. Caribou again utilized its mound depth as six pitchers combined to allow two hits while fanning 16. The Vikings were paced offensively by Hixon, who went 5 for 6 with 5 RBI. Caribou also received three hits apiece from by Manter, Ezzy, Desmond and Austin Findlen.
