Turning Point

Mound Presence

Sean Matson allowed the game tying double, but an excellent relay throw by Alex Mooney cut down the go-ahead run at the plate. In total, Campbell worked 3.2 innings allowing one run while striking out four. Matson worked 1.1 scoreless innings. Matt Jachec fanned five over two scoreless innings. Alaska Abney allowed an unearned run over two innings. Reid Johnston allowed four runs (three earned) in extras.
