The Sanford High School Varsity wrestling team was celebrated with a special night at the Mainers’ game on Sunday, June 26.
After a shaky start to the season, the Sanford Mainers have made a great turnaround. This week, Quinn McDaniel and Sonny Fauci were named New England Collegiate Baseball League’s Player of the Week and Pitcher of the Week, respectively. Last night, starting pitcher Bryce Afthim, and his brother, relief pitcher Brady Afthim, combined for ten strikeouts in a shutout of Ocean State. The offense didn’t disappoint either, giving the Mainers a final score of 10-0.
