Morehead City, NC- In the final game of the regular season the Morehead City Marlins fell victim to the Tri City Chili Peppers 14-1 halting their 13 game winning streak.
The lone bright spot in the ballgame was Ben Watson’s first inning double which gave him the new Coastal Plain League single season batting average record with an impeccable .427 clip.
Morehead City’s relief corps was composed mostly of position players, Colton Becker, Sean Johnson, and Ben Miller all saw their numbers called out of the bullpen.
Tomorrow is the start of the divisional round playoff battle against the Wilson Tobs with game one taking place at Big Rock Stadium at 7:00 PM.
