Vermont’s dominant sweep
Vermont completed a double‑header sweep of the 2026 Twin State Baseball Classic, defeating New Hampshire 13‑8 in the opener before adding a 7‑1 victory in the nightcap.
The Green Mountain team rallied from an 8‑3 deficit to overturn the early lead, capitalizing on a burst of offensive firepower that turned the tide.
Xander Oshoniyi earned MVP honors for Vermont, while Wyatt Divers was recognized as New Hampshire’s MVP, highlighting the emergence of talent from smaller Division 3 programs.
The series now stands at 14‑5 in Vermont’s favor, marking the third straight sweep since the competition was revived in 2015, despite interruptions in 2020 and 2021 and a lone nine‑inning game in 2023.
Vermont’s roster drew players from three of its four divisions, while New Hampshire fielded a squad composed of schools from all four of its divisions for the first time since 2015, underscoring the growing competitiveness of the classic.
