Chapin, Newberry – Chapin-Newberry Post Ends Regular Season with a Win Despite Missing Playoffs

The Chapin-Newberry Post concluded their regular baseball season with a decisive 4-2 victory against Richland Post 215 on July 15, 2025, at the Smith Road Complex, Newberry College. Despite the win, the team will not advance to the playoffs due to needing additional help alongside winning both of their final games.

Chapin-Newberry played two pivotal home games over the weekend, having previously lost 8-4 in a matchup against Zion Hill Post. As the summer baseball season drew to a close, their overall record sat at 8-9, with a 4-8 mark in league play. The team’s performance in their last game against Richland Post 215 showcased a late-season push, but ultimately, it was insufficient to secure a postseason spot.

Details of the Final Game

In the winning game against Richland Post, Tyler Graham delivered an impressive performance on the mound, pitching all seven innings and allowing seven hits and two runs, while also registering one strikeout. The Chapin-Newberry offense was able to jump out to an early lead, scoring two runs in the first inning. The game remained competitive until the fifth inning when Chapin-Newberry broke a tie and capitalized by adding two additional runs to solidify their victory.

Contributions to the team’s scoring came from several players. Caden Reeves had a standout performance, finishing his summer baseball season with a perfect record at the plate, going three-for-three with two singles, one double, and two RBIs. Bobby Gummere also made a notable contribution with a single that led to one RBI. Additionally, Maddox Floyd had one hit and was instrumental in scoring two of the four runs in the game.

Season Overview and Playoff Implications

This season marked the second year under the guidance of Head Coach Ryan Stoudemire. The season started off challenging for the team with a record of only 1-6. However, they demonstrated resilience and determination by finishing strong, going 7-4 in their final stretch, which included two three-game winning streaks. Despite the positive turnaround, the team found themselves sitting outside playoff eligibility due to their earlier struggles in the season.

Last summer, Chapin-Newberry’s postseason experience set high expectations for this year. After a strong run in the playoffs, their inability to repeat that success has been disappointing for both players and coaches. Nevertheless, the ending victory against Richland Post 215 serves as a bright note for future aspirations as they prepare for the next season.

Looking Ahead

The Chapin-Newberry Post will now transition from the regular season into planning for next year, with hopes of building on the momentum developed in the later part of the year. With young talent such as Caden Reeves, alongside determined veterans like Tyler Graham and Bobby Gummere, the team not only aims to improve its record but also to return to playoff contention in the upcoming season.

Although the Chapin-Newberry Post has finished the season without a playoff berth, their resilience in the face of adversity particularly highlighted by recent performances indicates a promising future for the team.
