WINSLOW — Winslow scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to rally past Hermon 3-2 in an Eastern B baseball prelim game Tuesday at Nivison Diamond.

Jon Nerney’s RBI single scored the winning run for the Black Raiders (13-4), who will face the winner of Wednesday’s game between No. 13 Caribou and No. 4 Foxcroft Academy in the quarterfinals. After three consecutive walks to open up the bottom of the seventh inning, Jake Trask’s two-run single tied the game.

Winslow was held to four baserunners over the first six innings by Hermon (9-8) pitcher Nick Guerette, including singles by Dylan Hapworth and Dameron Roderigue.

The Hawks opened the scoring in the first when a Connor Farmer single drove home Tyler Beaton. The Hawks scored an unearned run in the 3rd when Beaton scored on a Winslow error.

Trask went the distance for the win for the Black Raiders, scattering four hits, walking four and striking out 13.

Madison (8-9) answered in the top half of the next inning when Cody Soucier scored on a fielder’s choice, but the Bulldogs could not draw any closer. The Saints tacked on an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth to close out the scoring.
