OAKLAND - Little separated Messalonskee and Bangor on the
baseball diamond here Saturday afternoon.
In the end, it was the Eagles' clutch hitting - and the home-
field advantage - that helped them prevail.
Dylan Foster's bad-hop single capped a three-run, fifth-inning
rally as top-seeded Messalonskee eked out a 4-3 Eastern Maine Class
A baseball semifinal victory over No. 4 Bangor.
"The kids gutted it out and they managed to finish it," said
Messalonskee coach Ray Bernier. "They always kept coming back,
believing that they could win."
The Eagles (14-4) face No. 3 Cony of Augusta in Wednesday's
regional title game at Morton Field in Augusta.
Fourth-seeded Bangor closes out the season at 14-4.
