MONMOUTH – No outfield fence. Saturated grass. Tough sun.

With all those elements in place Monday afternoon at Chick Field, Lisbon High School had the luxury of rounding first base with a full head of steam just about every time the Greyhounds applied their bat to the baseball.

Seven doubles, a triple and six repeat hitters later, the onslaught added up to a 14-1 Mountain Valley Conference victory over Monmouth Academy, shoved neatly through a five-inning window thanks to the mercy rule.

Sophomore second baseman Marcus Bubar celebrated his 16th birthday by leading off both the first and second innings with a double for Lisbon (3-1). The Greyhounds scored three runs in each frame and continued the drum beat with five in the third, one in the fourth and two in the fifth to punctuate their third straight triumph.

“The first game we were a little bit too anxious,” Bubar said, recalling a 7-6 loss to Dirigo. “We just started out swinging and helped the pitcher out a lot. We have an approach now where we’re waiting for our favorite pitch. We’re just taking a pitch until we get a strike.”

Reigning MVC champion Lisbon supplemented its 13-hit attack with nine walks, four in the first inning.

Kyle Neagle, Mike Unterkoefler, Frank Angelico, Andy Ouellette and Mat Hardison joined Bubar with two hits apiece. Ouellette also ripped twin two-baggers, while Neagle notched a double and a triple. Bubar was robbed of a triple in his second plate appearance when his clout sailed over the head of right fielder Erik Murphy and rolled into the woods, making it a ground-rule double.

“We hit the ball, and we just took extra bases when they were there,” said Lisbon coach Randy Ridley. “They made a couple of nice plays in the outfield to take a few more away from us.”

Indeed, running catches by Josh Boisvert and Parker Ferland kept the chasm from growing wider in the fifth after Lisbon scored two runs on Monmouth’s only error of the game.

Lisbon already led 6-0 in the top of the second when its starting pitcher, Tyler Brown, suffered a game-ending left ankle injury in a collision at the plate.

Summoned for only his second appearance of the season, both coming in relief, Angelico scattered four hits over the final four innings to pick up the one-sided win. Angelico struck out four and walked one after starting at first base.

“Tough adjustment with not a whole lot of time to prepare other than me going, ‘Hey, I need you to go warm up,’ but he stepped up and did a great job,” Ridley said.

Consecutive singles by Mack Tozier, Murphy and Ron Hobson produced a run for the Mustangs (1-2) in the third inning. Mike Lindholm belted a double in the second for Monmouth, which played its first of four games in a five-day stretch.

“That’s why when this one gets away, you move on,” said Monmouth coach Eric Palleschi, who employed four pitchers and his entire bench. “He’s got a good team. They’re a great hitting team.”
