The American Legion Post 9 Beaufort Ospreys stayed undefeated in league play with a 4-3 comeback win over visiting Hampton on Monday.
Hampton took a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer in the second and added a run in the third before the Ospreys got the bats going.
Drew Luckey’s two-run homer in the fourth cut into the deficit, and Ethan Graham doubled home Griffin Yeager in the fifth to tie it and scored the go-ahead run on Matt Cieplowski’s RBI groundout later in the inning.
Michael Smyth earned the win in relief, pitching 5 1/3 innings and allowing one unearned run and seven hits with five strikeouts.
