TURNER — Errors were plentiful Tuesday in a Class B South preliminary-round baseball game between Leavitt and Gray-New Gloucester.

The seventh-seeded Hornets made three errors, but that was one less than the 10th-seeded Patriots, whose fourth and final error ended the game. Randan Hutchinson’s fly ball dropped out of center fielder Isaac Dunn’s glove, which allowed Trent Holst to score the winning run and give Leavitt a 9-8 victory in nine innings.

“I was just thinking before I even went up, I was like, man, like, I got to get one here and keep us going,” Hutchinson, Leavitt’s catcher, said. “I didn’t really want to go back (for the 10th) inning, catching again.”

The Hornets (8-9) advance to face No. 2 Greely (13-3) on Thursday.

While Leavitt moves on with an exciting victory, the Patriots’ (7-10) season ends in devastating fashion. Gray-New Gloucester coach Seth Johnson noted that Dunn had an otherwise outstanding freshman season, which included receiving Western Maine Conference honorable mention.

“He’s a freshman, so his ceiling is extremely high,” Johnson said. “The plays he’s made throughout the season, he’s made two catches diving over an outfield fence … I know, in his heart, he is crushed that that ball came out of his glove.”

How did Leavitt win?

• A Landon Marquis single in the bottom of the first put the Hornets up 1-0 before the Patriots responded with RBI groundouts by Carter Davis and Dunn in the second for a 2-1 Gray-New Gloucester advantage.

• Davis added an RBI single in the third. Hutchinson doubled in the bottom of the inning, and three Leavitt runners scored via a walk or groundout for a 4-3 lead. Hutchinson’s RBI single in the fourth put the Hornets up two.

“Randan’s been really good with that all year long,” Leavitt coach Roger Varney said. “He came through a couple of times today for us, which means a lot, right? That put us in a great position to win, and we capitalized on the error and got it done.”

• Gray-New Gloucester starting pitcher Jake Mulry started the fifth with a double. Later in the inning, Davis notched a two-run single to tie the game, 5-5. A error brought in two more runs for the Patriots, who later made it 8-5 on a double steal.

• Leavitt chipped away at the deficit in the fifth, with Tucker Harrington earning a bases-loaded walk and Holst driving in a run on a sacrifice ground out to get the Hornets within a run.

• After double plays ended Leavitt threats in the fifth and sixth, the Hornets tied the game, scoring on an error with two outs in the bottom of the seventh.
