SPC came up in their half of the 3rd and were able to play small ball and cut the deficit in half to 4-2 going into the top of the 4th. Starting pitcher for SPC, Kip DeShields, really found his groove out there after a rough start and didn’t allow a base runner for the 3rd and 4th innings.

In the SPC half of the 4th, #20 Mijon Cummings hit a long drive to left field for a two-run homerun that tied the game at 4 all. SPC couldn’t use the momentum to gain the lead and in each of Pasco’s next 2 half innings, they tacked on 1 run in each to make the score 6-4 going into the top of the 7th inning.

In the bottom of the 8th, luck began to turn around for SPC when catcher Scott Manea came to the plate with a man on and one out. A laser hit to the right center field gap scored one as he slide into third with an RBI triple. The next batter, Alex Archer then drove Manea in to make the score 8-7 Pasco.
