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.

Congratulations to Head Coach Bert Fitzgerald and his Keystone Wildcats baseball program as they have captured the 2025 Lorain County League Championship!

It’s the first time Keystone has won the league since its inception. Per Todd Shapiro of the Chronicle-Telegram, Keystone’s last league title came in 2019 when they won the Patriot Athletic Conference’s Star Division. With tremendous hitting throughout the lineup, complimented by high-level pitching, this Wildcat team is poised for postseason success!
