Beaver’s career leader at Turley, Homer and RBI went to 2 -for -5 with two RBI. Arquette 3 -for -5 ended.
At the top of the ninth, Zion Rose hit a leadoff triple and scored at the center on the tagu Davis’s single, bringing the cardinals within 3–2. After being caught stealing a pinch of a runner, the double-earr play placed a runner in the third place, and the earning neighbors hit a game-tie single.
The Beats were recovered when the Archwet hit each single and came home on the double of the turley.
Kelan Ox (5–0) won despite flying the lead. Jake Schwitzer (4-3) suffered losses.
