The game was 0-0 af
ter the first, but a couple
of errors and several hits
by Bacon in the top of the
second inning put six
runs on the board for the
Raiders.
Neither team scored
over the next two innings,
and in the top of the fifth
Bacon added another run
to push the lead to 7-0.
Toombs got on in the
bottom of the frame with
one run to make it 7-1.
Bacon added three more
in the sixth, with Toombs
answering with three in
the bottom of the inning,
but the score was now 10-
4.

top of the seventh inning
as they took the win, 11-

was the deciding factor in
the game. The Yellow
Jackets put nine runs on
the board in the top of
the frame to take control
of the game. They added
two more runs in the sec
ond inning to take an
11-0 lead over the Bull
