The Central Maine Community College baseball team needed one win on Saturday at the Ballpark in Old Orchard Beach to capture the Yankee Small College Conference Championship, and they took care of that early in the day with a 7-6 victory in 13 innings over Southern Maine Community College.
The Mustangs rallied from a 4-0 deficit, eventually ending the marathon of a game on a wild pitch with Brandon Gour scoring from third base in the last of the 13th inning. Tyler Herkalo had three hits and three RBI in the loss for the Seawolves, who needed back to back wins in order to capture the title. SMCC has a record of 23-13, and will await to see if they receive an at large bid to the USCAA Tournament. Zac Gorman had three hits for CMCC (26-13), while Gour had two hits along with two runs scored including the most important run at the end.
CMCC gets the automatic bid to the USCAA Small College World Series in Dubois, Pennsylvania which begins next Sunday, May 11th. Seedings and matchups are expected to be released by the USCAA in the next few days.
