NHIAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES
DIVISION II
Kingswood 10, St. Thomas 9
Bryan Purington’s single in the seventh inning scored Brendan MacPhee from third base with the game-winning run.
Second-seeded Kingswood led 8-0 after one inning, but fourth-seeded St. Thomas rallied and had a 9-8 lead after Ryan Gould’s two-run single in the fourth. Kingswood’s Nate Cloos had an RBI single in the fifth to tie the game.
Kingswood’s Kolby Brown threw 120 pitches — the maximum allowed — and gave way to Cloos with two outs in the seventh. The loss ended the Saints’ nine-game winning streak.
DIVISION III
Belmont 10, Derryfield 2
Wyatt Divers tossed a complete game and Belmont took control by scoring seven runs in the third inning.
Fifth-seeded Derryfield scored a run in the top of the first, but third-seeded Belmont pushed three runs across in the bottom half of the inning. The seven-run third handed the Red Raiders a 10-1 lead.
Divers recorded the game’s final out on a strikeout.
DIVISION IV
Newmarket 9, Epping 6
A four-run sixth inning broke a 5-5 tie and helped Newmarket win its fourth championship in the last eight seasons.
Seventh-seeded Epping, last year’s Division IV champion, trailed 5-0, but tied the game by scoring five runs in the fifth. The Mules regained the lead when Jackie Prompradit singled to drive in Matt Napoletano as part of the four-run sixth.
The victory improved Newmarket’s record to 19-0. The Mules completed the 2026 season as the only unbeaten team in the state.
