Maize will respond right back with four runs of their own on an Austin Grasso RBI double, Aaron Worthing RBI single and Will Das RBI single. Sarah Yoos give Carroll’s the lead with a double in the second. But Sam Altmiller will score on an Austin Grasso double to tie this game up in the third. Maize will take their first lead in the fourth on back-to-back RBI singles from Das and Will Marsden. That would be short lived as Carroll’s grab six runs in the fifth. Kevin Shinkunas had an RBI double, but the big shot was delivered by Sauers who smashed a grand slam. Mazie will get into the homer party getting two homers from Grasso and Aaron Worthington. But Carroll’s continue to hit as they score another four over the course of the last two innings, which would be the difference. Yoos added another run on a triple while Hallie Bilkner added a run on a double. Carroll’s win 14-10.

Back come runs though, as they put up seven runs in the bottom of the fourth, a very long inning. Kyle Exner and Rebecca Brennen had RBI single, while Maddie Leatherbarrow knocked in another on a double. We head to the last inning where Quality adds some much needed insurance runs on another homer by Phil McKusker and RBI single from Terry Ebersole as they lead 14-10 heading into the bottom half of the inning. Nick Perricone knocks in a run on a double and then scores on a Jason Exner RBI single. Matt Kovaleski knocks in a run on a double to bring this game to within a run.
