Pembroke Sends Halifax Packing with 3-2 Loss
Pembroke left-hander Chris Bender helped his team edge Halifax by the score of 3-2. Bender kept the opposing lineup in check. The save went to Pat Byers, his 7th this season. The Hitmen fall to 12-15 and continue their sputtering start to the 2026 season.

Had Bill Blue not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Blue hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Porch Geese.

"Chris executed his pitches at a high level," said Pembroke manager Manager B.S..
