Baseball: Pembroke 15, Coe-Brown 5

Pembroke 15, Coe-Brown 5 (5)

Key players: Pembroke – Preston Wallis (2-for-2, run), Ryan Ardine (1-for-3, 3 runs; winning pitcher), Andrew Chiavaras (1-for-3, 3 runs), Colby Despres (2-for-2, 3 runs), Owen Stewart (0-for-0, 3 walks, 2 runs)

Highlights: Both teams needed to win to qualify for the D-II playoffs and the Spartans scored runs in all five innings. Pembroke was especially boosted by scoring four runs in the third inning and five in the fourth. Coe-Brown scored five runs in the third inning, but Ardine and the defense didn’t let the Bears put more runs across the plate after that. 

Coach’s quote: “It was a must win, now we wait for the bracket to come out. Our boys jumped out to a lead today, held off the counter and answered with our own.” – Pembroke’s Joshua Coughlin

Records: Pembroke 6-10; Coe-Brown 6-11
