Greene County was able to take advantage of several infield singles while the Tigers hit the ball hard but at the defense.
Sterling Rodman drove in the 1st run of the game on an RBI single in the 1st but Greene County grabbed the lead with a pair of runs in the 2nd inning. The Tigers responded in the 4th with RBI by Connor Slagle and Evan Loew. Again they weren’t able to maintain the lead and Greene County scored 4 times in the 4th inning. They would never trail again, though Carroll scored Cooper Ludwig on a passed ball and Mason Vought on a throwing error in the top 7th inning tying the game. Carroll pulled within 6-5 on a 2 RBI hit from Ryan North in the 6 innings.
After threatening in the top 8th and 9th innings Greene County scored the winning run on a walk off single to right field.
