Daniel Batstone scored four touchdowns Friday night as undefeated Exeter, New Hampshire, earned a 35-25 victory against Portland in an interstate football game at Fitzpatrick Stadium.

In a game between state title contenders, Batstone scored from 30 yards in the first quarter, dragging tacklers into the end zone, and from 3 yards in the second. He added scoring runs from 4 and 3 yards in the third quarter for the Blue Hawks (8-0).

Until Friday night, Exeter had not allowed more than 12 points in a game.

Portland (6-2) hung tough, pulling within 14-12 at the half on two second-quarter touchdowns, by Cordell Jones from the 1 and Aidan McGowan on a 41-yard pass from Louis Thurston.

But Exeter’s line opened large holes throughout, and Batstone took advantage to score his two third-quarter touchdowns. Jack Kavanaugh added another from the 1 in the fourth.

Portland collected touchdowns from Brady Viola on a 13-yard pass from Thurston in the third quarter and Lisandro Rodrigues, who scooped up a fumble at the 2 and reached the end zone with 2:26 to play.
