AUBURN — Team Prudential might have set some sort of Auburn Suburban Little League record this past weekend by playing three games in a 19-hour time frame.

Friday night, Pridential they took on fiesty Ninety-Nine Restaurant in a matchup featuring two of the league’s top two hurlers, Mallory Ouellette of 99 and Melissa Pawlina of Prudential. Both treated the large crowd to quite a night. Prudential was led offensively by Madison Rush, Katherine Gilpatrick and Hannah Olcott, while 99’s leaders at the plate were Alyssa Burke, Andrea Demers and Maizy Demers.

Sara Lachance of 99 and Anna LeBlanc of Prudential were strong in relief, tossing hitless frames to close the evening’s festivities.

Saturday morning it was back to work for Prudential playing a makeup game with the dangerous Pacios Rausch team. PR came out of the gates firing on all cylinders. Consecutive hits by Rebekah Sterling, Cathleen Fogarty and Abigail Fisher loaded the bases, and Damarys Luna, Lydia Sterling, and Jordan Cummings wasted no time clearing them.

Prudential was able to climb back into the contest on the backs of Taylor Newman, Bella Coulombe and Sara Younk. All three sluggers finished the contest with five hits apiece. Prudential was without there ace of the staff, Pawlina, due to a prior commitment, so the team relied on the arm of Cassady Bussiere. Making her first appearance on the hill, Bussiere did not disappoint and delivered a gutsy performance.

After the dust had settled from this contest, it was time to grab a quick bite to east before heading over to Sweetser Field to take on East Auburn. Having split the first two meetings by the narrowist of margins, the two teams faced off again with bragging rights at stake.

East Auburn got on the board first when a Mia Ouellette single plated a hustling Madison Hopping. Prudential answered in its half of the frame on singles by Taylor Newman, Katherine Gilpatrick and Hannah Olcott. Prudential got strong pitching performances out of Pawlina and Karma Bell. Good hitters make the necessary adjustments, though, and that’s what Tabitha Charest, Leah Burtchell and Lindsey Adams all did during the middle frames to keep East Auburn going strong.

Despite the wear and tear of its busy schedule, Prudential wasn’t done. Karma Bell brought the crowd to its feet twice in the final two innings with doubles to deep left, and Anna LeBlanc, Bella Coulombe and Cassady Bussiere put the finishing touches on their four-hit afternoons.

The two rivals meet again at 9 a.m. Saturday.
