How it Happened

• The Hornets grabbed in run in the opening half inning, taking a 1-0 lead before ripping off four runs in the top of the second. With two outs, it looked as if the Spartans were going to get out of the second inning without any damage, but an error furthered the inning, leading to all three runs. In the bottom half of the second, though, York got on the board when Patrick Clement doubled down the right field line, bringing home Jack Barry.

• Again, Shenandoah added another run in the top of the third to extend its lead to 6-1. But, it was the Spartans digging in and battling back in the bottom half of the third. With one out, Zach Hossler singled through the right side, and then he scored when Seth Brosius launched a double to center field. Christian Bilan was next, and he singled to center, moving Brosius to third. Brosius would score when Barry managed a single through the right side. York scored a pair of runs on four hits to close within 6-3.

• The Hornets managed runs in the top of the fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth to blow open to a 17-3 lead. In the eighth, Nick Goode launched a grand slam over the fence in left center, cementing the victory.
