By Mike BergerThe Canton High varsity baseball team capped off an up-and-down regular season with a solid 3-1 road win over King Philip last Wednesday in the Hockomock League crossover game.

With the victory, the Bulldogs finished the season at 7-13 and have earned the No. 18 seed in the Division 3 south sectional tournament. The team will face 15th seeded Fairhaven in a preliminary round game on Friday at 4 p.m. in Fairhaven.
Sophomore Sam Larson, the team’s best pitcher and the potential starter in the opening round of the playoffs, threw a complete game at KP, scattering six hits over seven innings while allowing just a single run.
The Canton offense came alive in the game with RBIs coming from Steve Mullaney, Drew Blake, and Justin Rudy.
Earlier in the week, the Bulldogs fell to Stoughton 4-1 in their final home game of the season.
Canton enters the playoffs on the strength of its record against Division 3 opponents; however, with a sub-.500 record overall, the team will have to play all of its postseason games on the road.
