Congratulations to head coach Matt Rositano and his Amherst Comets as they are on their way to Canton to play in the State Final Four!

The Comets defeated Oregon Clay in their DII Regional Final by a final score of 7-4. Cael Charles started the game for Amherst and was in a groove, throwing six strong innings before Cole Charles came on for the save in the 7th. Amherst’s offense sprung to life after a Clay rally to tie the game, capped by a 2-run double off the bat of Cole Marquez.

Amherst will travel to Thurman Munson Memorial Stadium this Friday to take on New Albany in the State Semifinals. WEOL will have the game live on Stream 1 right here at WEOL.com, and also on our free mobile app.
