Baseball Finishes Season with Home Doubleheader
Cougars Fall Just Short of Postseason Playoffs
(Holyoke, MA) – Cougars baseball saw their season come to a close on Saturday, hosting a doubleheader against regional opponent Quinsigamond CC. Holyoke needed to win at least one of the two games to have a chance to qualify for postseason, but regrettably lost both.
The Cougars trailed 5-1 in the bottom of the seventh and final inning of Saturday's first game, where they'd drive in two runs to bring the score to 5-3. They had runners on second and third base with one out but unfortunately could not get them home, falling by the 5-3 final score. Holyoke learned before the start of their second game that they could no longer qualify for the postseason due to the outcome of another regional game played on Saturday. The Cougars did their best to just have a little fun in the finale, coming out on the bottom end of a 13-7 score.
Men's baseball closes the season with a 12-20 overall record and an 8-10 regional record. They finish just one game back of 4th place, and the final playoff spot, in the Region XXI (New England) standings. Holyoke won six straight games, their longest winning streak of the season, prior to Saturday's doubleheader. Fourteen freshmen from this year's team can return to play in 2027. Let's go Cougars!
