CAMBRIDGE -- A pair of late runs lifted the Meadowbrook High Colts past county rival Cambridge, 6-4 in an East Central Ohio League match-up at Cambridge City Park.

Trailing 4-3 entering the sixth frame, the Colts pushed across a pair of runs to take a 5-4 lead over the 'Cats.

With one out, senior Devon Cork coaxed a walk from Cambridge pitcher Nick Snellgrove, junior Cole Pennington then followed with a solid single up the middle to put Meadowbrook runners on the corners. Junior Kyle Roberts then stepped up and delivered in the clutch, smacking a triple to right-center to plate both runners.

"It's usually a back and forth battle when we play Cambridge," Meadowbrook coach Steve Norman said. "Tonight, we were fortunate to come on the top."
