The contest unfolded as a back‑and‑forth battle, culminating in an 11‑9 final score that underscored the teams’ offensive firepower.
Early Sparks
Sorrell opened the scoring in the first inning, launching a drive to right field that cleared the fence and brought in two runs.
A subsequent throwing miscue allowed Chance to reach safely, enabling Stallman and Parker to advance; Milewski’s ensuing single drove in a run and placed Chance on third, setting the stage for further scoring.
Third Inning Explosion
The third inning erupted in a flurry of long balls. Sullivan’s blast to left‑center added a run, while Stallman’s center‑field homer brought in another. Binderup followed with a three‑run shot to left, and Grahovac capped the burst with a right‑field homer that plated a run.
Late‑Game Surge
Woodson’s power persisted into the fourth and fifth frames, first with a solo homer and later with a two‑run blast to left. Sorrell’s double in the fifth added two more RBIs, and Sullivan’s sixth‑inning homer to right‑center extended the lead. The rally was punctuated when Kellner was hit by a pitch, driving in a run that capped the scoring.
