Former Hanover Area standout Christian Pack drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Monarchs to victory and into the Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom Tournament.

The Monarchs improved to 20-14 overall and finished with a 12-9 mark in conference play by winning their regular season finale for their 12th victory in the last 13 games.

Matt Mellinger started the bottom half of the ninth by reaching base on a fielding error. Sean Padden was hit-by-a-pitch before Mellinger advanced to third on a fly ball to right by Brad Wilkins. Sean McKee hit a fly ball down the right-field line that was caught for the second out, but Dan Hartson worked a five-pitch walk to bring up Pack with the bases loaded.

Pack watched the first three pitches miss for balls before seeing a strike. The 3-1 pitch from James Eldridge missed high to give the Monarchs the victory and send the team to their third consecutive conference tournament.
