An impressive 5 and 1 Qwon-lostj record was racked up in league competition, and an over all record of 6 wins and 4 losses. The H.C.S.S.A. chose to split into two-four team leagues for the baseball season. Deer Isle, Penobscot, Brooklin, and Castine were placed in one league, with each team being a definite contender for the title. We were able to win over Brooklin and Castine, but able to gain only a split with Penobscot. This left us tied with Penobscot for the sunspot , and requiring the third game to be played, to decide the champion a rather loosely played of our league. In game at Blue Hill, Penobscot provided too were able to pull out a many guns , and 11-7 victory. The game was tied at 7-7 at the end of 6 innings but they went on to win in the last frame. Non-league games were played with Blue Hill and Islesboro. Blue Hill showed good hitting and pitching in both games and was able to win by wide margins.
