The two teams split during the regular season, with the Mariners taking the opening day game 5-4 and Camden Hills returning the outcome with a 5-3 win in game two. Game three for these two teams could easily be the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference Championship if things remain the way they are.

Oliver was nearly as perfect through the first five and then ran into trouble in the sixth inning. He allowed four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out three.

In the sixth inning Michael Wolff drove in Ben Rollins with an infield hit, and one batter later, John Hall drove in two more with a single to break the game open. Sam Gimlewicz doubled in Hall to close out the scoring.
