BANGOR — Another day, another gem from Mike Mageles at Winkin Complex.

The left-handed Lake Region product pitched a four-hit shutout Thursday afternoon, keeping Bessey Motors of South Paris undefeated in the American Legion baseball state tournament with a 4-0 win over Brewer.

Mageles, who also pitched a complete game in Bessey Motors’ play-in game victory over Fayette-Staples of Saco, struck out six, walked four and hit a batter.

“I don’t throw that hard, so when my off-speed pitches are working, I need that to be effective,” Mageles said. “It’s hard to beat us when we play good defense.”

Bessey Motors capped the game with a 1-6-4-3 double play, with Greg Warmuth’s line drive taking a room-service hop off Mageles’ glove.

Riley Chickering was 2-for-3 and scored three runs for Bessey (20-3), which will face the winner of Thursday night’s Pastime Club-Bangor game at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Nick Attaliades Ryan went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two stolen bases. Brady LaFrance also had two hits.

Chickering went the distance on the hill in Wednesday’s 7-2 win over Post 51 of Oakland.

“It was good to get two nine-inning outings out of our pitchers,” Attaliades-Ryan said. “Right now we’re feeling good. Spirits are high.”

Brewer falls into an elimination game at 11 a.m. Friday against Morrill Post of South Portland.

Bessey chalked up one run in the first inning, another in the fifth and two in the seventh.

Chickering’s leadoff single and Matt Beauchesne’s sacrifice bunt ignited the opening frame. Dalton Rice walked with two out, and Ty Martin’s fourth hit in two days — a single to left field — put Bessey on the board.

“It’s kind of unorthodox to put a bunt down in the first inning right off quick, but hey, to get a run there, you never know what the game’s going to do,” Bessey Motors manager Shane Slicer said.

Attaliades-Ryan delivered another two-out tally in the fifth. He singled to left after Chickering walked and stole second.

“That’s what I like to do: Just hit line drives somewhere and get runners home,” Attaliades-Ryan said.

Zack Conley walked and drew an errant pickoff throw from Brewer starter Galen Williamson with one out in the seventh. Chickering singled, chasing Williamson in favor of Matt Pushard.

Beauchesne greeted him with a squeeze bunt. Pushard recorded the out when Beauchesne ran out of the first base line to avoid him, but Conley crossed the plate.

Attaliades-Ryan plated Chickering with another two-out knock.

“I think the whole team’s kind of bought into how steady NAR is,” Slicer said, referring to Attaliades-Ryan by his more convenient initials. “There’s no flamboyancy. It’s, ‘OK, I’ve got two strikes on me. I’ll do my job. I’ll fight a little bit. Then I’ll hit a laser beam.’ Whatever it might be, you’re not going to get him out all four or five times. He’s going to do something in the game. He’s gone really unnoticed, not in our league so much, but across the state. I think Farmington’s getting one hell of a baseball player.”

Mageles only endured three anxious moments.

He plunked Chase Allen to start the game, then uncorked a wild pitch. Allen made it to third, but two groundouts and a popout prevented from him scoring.

“The first few innings my arm was just a little bit tired,” Mageles said. “I was able to stretch it out, and throughout the game I was able to throw more fastballs.”

In the fourth, a one-out walk of Brendon Moore, followed by designated hitter Pushard’s double, put two in scoring position. But Carter DeRedin popped to Martin at third base, and Logan Rogerson bounced out to Attaliades-Ryan at second.

DeRedin and Alex Maxsimic walked in the seventh, but in between, Mageles rang up Rogerson and Warmuth looking. Allen flied to Nick Bowie in center field to end the inning.

In two appearances on the Husson FieldTurf, Mageles has worked 17 innings while allowing only eight hits.

When Friday’s scheduled starter, Ryan Godin, warmed up during in the seventh inning, Mageles quietly and respectfully asked Slicer if he could finish what he started. The coach assured him that was the plan.

“I thought Riley threw a nice one yesterday, but Mikey threw great today. He’s gone through being a No. 3 or No. 4 pitcher the past few years, getting in here and there when we needed to eat up some innings. He wanted to start,” Slicer said. “He was nibbling. He kept them off balance. He was picking his spots. Just like the other day, he threw great.”
