Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Chelmsford walked away with it. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Shrewsbury Colonials a 1-0 shutout on Monday.
Not much got past Matthew Stuart, who gave up just four hits to keep Shrewsbury off the board. Stuart has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Chelmsford saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Evan Kobrenski, who went 2-for-3 with two doubles. Those two doubles gave Kobrenski a new career-high.
Chelmsford has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Shrewsbury, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 14-5.
As of now, neither Chelmsford nor the Colonials have any future games scheduled.
