SOUTH PORTLAND 1, BONNY EAGLE 0, 8 INNINGS
Richard Gilboy scored on an error with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, and Andrew Heffernan pitched a one-hitter as reigning Class A champion South Portland began its season with a 1-0 win over Bonny Eagle in South Portland.
Heffernan gave up a single by Nathan Morse but was perfect the rest of the way. He struck out 11, and 64 of his 77 pitches were strikes.
Gilboy had two of South Portland’s four hits off Bonny Eagle starter Mason Ryan, who pitched the first five innings. Drew Cummings took the loss despite not allowing a hit in 2 2/3 innings.
