SANFORD, Maine -- The North Adams SteepleCats Wednesday exploded for seven runs in the top of the fourth inning to erase a four-run deficit and earn a 7-4 win and double-header split against the Sanford Mainers.

 

Pittsfield's Nick Guachione doubled in a run in the winning rally, which also saw Gabriel Natividad and Owen Arias double.

 

Thomas Sullivan earned the win with one inning of scoreless relief on the mound. Owen Crowe earned a two-inning save.

 

In the first game of the double-header, Sanford's Blake Schaff hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the seventh to break an 8-8 tie and give the Mainers a 9-8, walkoff win.

 

North Adams (5-14) is at Holyoke on Thursday before coming home to play its annual July 4 game against North Shore with fireworks to follow the game on Friday.
