 It took not only eighteen tournament games but a few extra innings on Thursday afternoon for someone in Division II to beat Portsmouth when their season was on the line. When Lebanon's Jacob Davis crossed home plate in the top of the 10th inning ahead of a Matt Feeney throw to first (in an attempted double-play) it gave the visitors a 2-1 lead and would prove to be the run that ended a dynasty. The Clippers would get a runner on in the bottom of the 10th against Lebanon reliever Colin MacNamee but as had been the case all day, they were unable to put a rally together against the #3 seed.

 Portsmouth ace Rick Holt (7-2) was outstanding but was undone by the unearned run in the 10th. A two base throwing error by Feeney put Davis on and even with strong relief work out of the bullpen by lounge member Kyle DiCesare the Clippers weren't able to get out of the winning unscathed.

 Holt and Lebanon ace Brady Boisvert (10-0) would only give up 7 singles combined on the day as the Red Raiders advance to the Division II championship game where they will meet the winner of St. Thomas & Bedford.
