Sean Cole’s one-out fielder’s choice in the bottom of the seventh inning brought in Jordan Burgess with the winning run in game one.
Host Centre (7-4) had only three hits, none of them in the decisive seventh inning. Aaron Ammann had two hits for the Colonels.
The Colonels tied the game at 1-all in the sixth inning when Ammann doubled and scored when Kyle Cook grounded into a double play.
Winning pitcher Kyle Neu allowed nine hits and two walks in seven innings, but Hanover (5-5) couldn’t score again after getting a run in the first inning.
The Colonels won the second game on the strength of an eight-run first inning that included a three-run triple by Forrest Goodwin, who was 2 for 3 with four RBIs.
Jake Johnson and Trey Litsey also had two hits each, and one of Johnson’s was a home run.
