DEERING 1, PORTLAND 0
Avery Lawrence allowed only three hits while striking out 14, and the Rams (3-7) pushed a run across in the bottom of the sixth inning to beat the Bulldogs (3-6) at The Ballpark in Old Orchard Beach.
Lawrence was removed with runners on first and second and one out in the seventh because of the pitch-count limit. Zade Smith got the final two outs for the save.
Pinch hitter John Bechard singled home the winning run.
Cam Allen pitched a complete game for Portland, and outfielder Reegan Buck had a strong defensive game, recording an assist and six putouts, including two running catches.
