The Chippewas concluded the 2026 schedule with a decisive series victory, splitting a doubleheader in Massachusetts and finishing the year at 24‑29 overall. The win marked the fifth straight series triumph for the program and underscored the team’s ability to rally when it mattered most.
Key Performances
Game one saw Bryson Webb deliver a two‑RBI single and a solo homer, while Logan Keilen added a home run of his own. Rees Campanale’s first‑pitch, two‑run blast in the second game shifted momentum, giving the Chippewas an early lead.
A seventh‑inning rally was sparked by Zach Knowlton and Cole Prout, whose timely hits drove in crucial runs. Isaiah Velazco’s ninth‑inning triple plated the first two scores, sealing the comeback.
On the mound, Liam Stumpf earned his second save of the season with four innings of one‑run baseball, and Gavin Moczydlowsky posted seven strikeouts en route to a 10‑7 lead after five frames.
Spencer Verburg capped his senior year with a .412 average across 36 appearances, notching three base hits in the sixth, eighth and ninth innings. His bat, combined with the arms of Stumpf and Moczydlowsky, illustrated the blend of offense and pitching that defined the team’s late‑season surge.
The final stretch also featured a 2‑5 record for Tyson Potts, whose contributions added depth to a pitching staff that proved resilient throughout the campaign.
