LISBON — Buckfield took control early and rolled to a 15-9 softball win over Lisbon in five soggy innings Thursday.

Addison Stevens-Belanger paced Buckfield’s offense with two hits, including a triple, two runs and three RBIs, while Emma Stevens-Belanger scored three times and drew three walks. Abigail Prokey and Cora Brewster also tallied a pair of hits apiece, and Carmen Crockett and Kayden Haylock (double) each had a hit and drove in two runs.
Lisbon (2-7) tried to battle back with a few big innings. The Greyhounds scored four runs in the bottom of the second, cutting the deficit to 8-4. They entered the bottom of the fifth trailing 15-4, then plated five runs in the frame.
Lisbon finished with only three hits — singles by Brooke Norman, Emily Libby and Alivia Field — but drew 10 walks. Sophie Maloy walked three times and scored twice. Field, Maria Levesque (two walks) and Marina Davis also scored two runs apiece. Davis and Elle Burkhardt drove in two runs.
