Top of 1 – Gaige Epp on the mound throwing to Rayn Ray, and he comes out firing with 3 straight K’s! After one, it’s a scoreless game.
In the 2nd, Roberts slap bunts his way on, Epp singles to move him to 3rd, but we can’t cash in. After two complete, it’s still 0–0.
Bottom 3 – NL finds some hits and plates 3 runs. We head to the 4th down 0–3.
Top 4 – Poitras walks to lead off, Roberts bangs a ground-rule double, and Epp works a walk to load the bases. Then Cook clears them all with a GRAND SLAM! We jump ahead 4–3. We shut NL down quickly in the bottom half to hold the lead.
5th inning – scoreless on both sides.
Bottom 6 – Newfoundland ties it up 4–4.
Top 7 – Nash blasts a leadoff HOME RUN! Hryuik follows with a triple, Durham drives him in with a sac fly, Ray singles, Poitras moves the runner over, and we score on a wild pitch. Kessler walks, advances to 2nd on another wild pitch, and Roberts rips an RBI single up the middle.
