No one was more impactful than Josh Houtchens in an extra-inning, 9-7 Taunton win over Pembroke. Houtchens, who is tied for 3rd in the MA-SS in runs scored with 104, was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs. Robert Johnson snagged the win in relief. He goes to 4-7 on the season. Andy McGrath suffered the loss. Pembroke's current losing streak is now 5 games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ian Wyatt in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a 2-run home run off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Andy McGrath to win the game for Taunton. The home crowd went nuts.

"Been a rough stretch for us," said Pembroke manager Manager B.S..
