Baseball: John Stark falls in D-II championship to top-ranked Souhegan
MANCHESTER – In order to knock off top-ranked Souhegan, John Stark knew it was going to take a perfect performance. The Generals took an early lead and Player of the Year Chase Philibotte struck out nine Saber batters, but John Stark (17-3) committed a couple of errors early that allowed Souhegan to claw its way back into the game and weren’t quite as crisp in the field as usual as No. 1 Souhegan (20-1) defeated the No. 2 Generals, 4-3, to win the Division II baseball championship on Saturday at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
