Wakefield won the third quarter 8-3 to make it a 34-27 game at the end of three.
The Pirates notched 23 fourth quarter points compared to 19 for the Trojans.
Tyler Haberman had a game-high 21 points and 18 rebounds, good enough for a double-double. Taylor Donner added 13 points while Tyler Emmons scored 11.
This was probably one of Emerson-Hubbard's better wins of the year. The Pirates really played well for four quarters.
Emerson-Hubbard (6-9) hosts Pender (2-15) Tuesday night.
The Pendragons lost 69-41 at Howells-Dodge on Saturday.
It has been a difficult season for Pender, although the Pendragons have shown signs of life in their two wins.
The Pirates should win, but Emerson-Hubbard can't afford to overlook or take Pender lightly.
I look for this game to be fairly close. I think the Pirates will come out on top, but I could see things being decided between 10-15 points.
I'm sure the Pendragons will bring their best effort, which means Emerson-Hubbard better be ready to roll as well.
The Pirates have to continue to build upon the things they did well against Wakefield.
Emerson-Hubbard needs to execute their offense and play superb defense.
The Pirates have to try and slow down James Bensen, who is one of the top players for Pender.
Emerson-Hubbard has to play hard for four quarters, and play well for 32 minutes.
The Pirates can't afford to struggle or have an off night.
Emerson-Hubbard needs to have a good showing Tuesday night.
A win would be good heading into the Allen game Thursday night.

The two teams met in the Bob Clough Post Holiday Tournament on January 9th with Emerson-Hubbard prevailing 57-54.
The Pendragons fell 65-64 at Howells-Dodge on Saturday.
Pender has played a really tough schedule this year and has sort of played the role of giant slayer.
The Pendragons have come up short against a number of tough teams on their schedule, but have beaten some good teams as well.
There's no doubt Pender is capable of giving the Pirates another good game.
I expect things to be close like they were the first time around.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Pendragons found a way to win.
Both these teams are good, and fairly equal despite the difference in record.
Pender has played a tougher schedule and that should no doubt benefit the Pendragons down the stretch.
I feel like Pender is a real threat to Emerson-Hubbard so the Pirates need to be ready to bring their "A" game for four quarters.
It will be real interesting to see how this one turns out. I could see things going either way.
