LEWISTON — Oxford Hills winning pitcher Kolby Brown was also a force at the plate in the Vikings’ 7-4 victory over Lewiston in a Class A North baseball game on Thursday afternoon.

BATES PLAYERS HONORED: The New England Small College Athletic Conference honored Bates tennis players Cam Davis-Kania and Alexander Gujarathi by naming the pair to the Second Team All-NESCAC in doubles on Thursday.

Davis-Kania, a senior captain, and Gujarathi, a junior, were a strong doubles pair, going 12-13 and 8-8 in dual matches.

The duo won six out of eight contests at one point during the spring. Their victories included wins over No. 31 MIT, No. 30 Skidmore, No. 18 Wesleyan and No. 12 Bowdoin.

The pair topped Bowdoin’s Tristan Bradley and Reid Staples with an 8-7 (7-4) win — which was especially impressive since Bradley copped the NESCAC Player of the Year award.
