FRYEBURG — After dropping three straight one-run games, the Fryeburg Academy softball team has pounded its way out of a slump by scoring 23 runs in back-to-back wins.
The Raiders improved to 7-7 on the season after toppling Sacopee Valley in a Saturday matinee 10-2 in Hiram, Maine, and follow that up with a 13-6 win over Gray-New Gloucester at home on Monday.
