WELCOME TO THE BIRDS | ADAM EUTSLER #14

The Cardinals add another proven bat to the infield with the addition of Adam Eutsler to the 2027 roster.

Eutsler was named the 2025 Pine Tree League Coastal Conference Silver Slugger after putting together a huge season at the plate last season:
404 AVG | 1.064 OPS | 22 RBI

His 2025 season also earned him a spot in the Pine Tree League All-Star Game.

A Medomak Valley High School product, Adam went on to play college baseball at Husson University before spending the last three seasons competing in the Pine Tree League. The club is extremely pleased to add Adam to the 2027 roster!

The Lincoln County Cardinals would like to thank Caleb Harvey and Cam Crocker for everything they have contributed to the program over the past two seasons as they step away from the team following the 2026 season.

Caleb served as our starting left fielder and two-hole hitter, providing consistent production on both sides of the ball throughout his time with the Cardinals while Cam Crocker brought valuable versatility to the roster, spending time at both second and third base while also giving us important innings on the mound in his two seasons with the Birds. Cam remains the lone player to hold a playoff win on the mound in team history with his playoff victory in 2025.

Both players were early additions to the Cardinals and have been great teammates and an important part of building this program. We will miss them greatly.

We appreciate everything Caleb and Cam gave to the Cardinals and wish them both the best moving forward!

THREE CARDINALS NAMED 2026 PINE TREE LEAGUE ALL-STARS

We’re excited to announce that Gibby Morrison, Tyler Bailey and Elias Atkins have been nominated as 2026 Pine Tree League All-Stars.

Gibby Morrison | 1B/C
Gibby hit .348 with a .423 OBP this season, collecting 16 hits, four doubles and eight RBI. He was a consistent bat in our lineup all summer and did a great job for the team both behind the plate and at first base.

Tyler Bailey | P/3B
The 2025 Cardinals team voted MVP Tyler had another big year on both sides of the ball. He hit .488 with a .600 OBP, finishing with 21 hits in 43 at-bats. On the mound, he went 5-2 with a save and a 2.12 ERA, striking out 48 over 59⅓ innings and throwing six complete games. This is Tyler’s second straight all star nomination.

Elias Atkins | CF
Elias hit .348 with a .423 OBP, drove in 16 runs, scored 19 times, hit three home runs and stole 15 bases earning All Star honors. The 2025 Gold Glove recipient also gave the team valuable innings on the mound and provided his usual elite defense in center field.

The next step comes on September 4, when the league will draft the All-Star teams. The players selected in that draft will make up the First Team All-Stars and will play in the Pine Tree League All-Star Game on September 13 at 10:00 AM at Bates College in Lewiston. Additional updates to come at the conclusion of the All Star draft.

Congratulations Gibby, Tyler and Elias!

To Our Cardinals Baseball Family

Our 2026 season didn’t end the way we hoped it would but when I look back on this summer, there is still a lot to be thankful for.

More than anything, it’s a pleasure to be able to do this with the group of players, families, fans, sponsors and supporters that we have around this team. Baseball is obviously a huge part of it, but the people are what make all of this worth doing. I’m thankful that we get to spend our summers together, compete together, build this program together and continue making memories along the way.

To our players, thank you for continuing to buy into what we want the Lincoln County Cardinals to be. Playing in the Pine Tree League is a large time commitment not only for our players but for our wives and children who sacrifice for our guys to be able to play this kids game that we love. I truly appreciate the time and effort every guy gave to this team. We have a close group of players who genuinely enjoy being around each other and that is something I will never take for granted.

We finished our second Pine Tree League season with nine wins. We certainly had some growing pains and there are games we wish we could have back but I’m proud of the progress we made as a team this season. We expect the majority of this group to return in 2027, along with some key additions that we believe can help take us another step forward. Our goal remains to be a top 4 team and give ourselves an opportunity to win a championship for our Lincoln County fans. We know that doesn’t happen overnight but we remain confident and excited about the group we have and what we can continue building together.

Some of the best parts of this summer had nothing to do with the actual baseball on Sundays. We hosted our second annual Cardinals Kids Camp with more than 50 kids attending. Being able to get our players involved with young baseball players in the area and see that many kids working on their games and having fun playing ball is something we’re really proud of.

We were also able to raise money for a Maine family battling cancer. Thank you to everyone who donated, helped put the event together or supported it in any way. We’re grateful that baseball gives us an opportunity to help people in our community. We aren’t finished giving back in 2026 either, as we’re looking forward to our Christmas drive this December.

Heading into 2027, we also hope to continue growing our sponsorship network. The support of local businesses makes everything we do possible, and the more that network grows, the more we hope to be able to give back. We would love to continue growing our kids camp and find even more ways to support the youth baseball and softball programs in Wiscasset. To every one of our sponsors, thank you for believing in us and supporting what we’re trying to build. We’re proud to represent you:

First National Bank
Renys
Brett Cowan Builders
Woodbrook Animal Clinic
Midcoast Nutrition
Wiscasset Parks and Recreation

Thank you as well to everyone who helped behind the scenes this year. From field work and game day operations to the scoreboard, photos, events and all the little things people may not always see, it takes a lot of people to make a season happen. We’re very fortunate to have so many people willing to help. Thank you:
Paige Teel, Jay Bailey, David Bodge, Brandi Marshall, Sierra Wallace, Jessica Dickinson Morrison, Mitchell Couturier and many more.

And to our fans, thank you. You showed up rain or shine and continued to support us all summer. Many of you are pictured here, but we know there are so many more who came to games, followed along from home, shared our posts, brought your families to the field or simply asked us how the Birds were doing. We can't thank you enough.

Having people genuinely care about this team means a lot to us. When I started the Cardinals, I hoped we could build something that people enjoyed being a part of and something that could become a positive piece of the Wiscasset and Lincoln County community. Two seasons later, I’m just really thankful for where we are and for everyone who has chosen to be a part of it. There is plenty we still want to accomplish on the baseball field and we’ll keep working toward those goals but getting to do this every summer with this group of people is something I’m incredibly grateful for.

Thank you to everyone who made 2026 another special summer. We'll be back.
