Final: East Union 8, Clarkdale 3.
A 5-4-3 double play ends the game.
Ben Basil goes 3-for-3 with a RBI and was the winning pitcher for the Urchins. Ethan LaMontagne was named MVP of the series.
Urchins claim MHSAA Class 2A state championship. Fifth state overall and first since 2023.
As we cope with the passing of a beloved coach and member of the Urchin family, the high school building at East Union will be open at 4:30 today with counselors and pastors on hand for any student, staff, or any community member who needs to talk.
East Union (@EastUnionAC) is one win away from a 2A state title. Freshman Ethan Lamontagne's battle with a brain tumor has inspired his teammates & others off the field.
