Round 1 to Down East
It's party time in Down East. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling.

The Down East Wood Ducks have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 2026 Round 1 today. They defeated the Columbia Fireflies 9-2 at Grainger Stadium to officially wrap up the series 4-3.

Asked how it feels to be a champion, second baseman Keyber Rodriguez was to the point.

"It feels great, like a million bucks. I'm so happy right now, not just for me but for all the guys," he said. "We put a lot of work into this and deserve to be champions."

The team is planning a victory parade and fan appreciation day later in the week. Down East finished the regular season 95-38 and claimed first place in the North.
