Bottom 2 – Wesley hung another run on the board in the 2nd, again with two outs.  Will Barton was able to reach 1st on a fielding error by Lions 3B Travis VanHouten.  The error allowed A. Briggs to round the bases from 1st and score.  2-0 Wesley

Bottom 3 – With two outs and a man on 3rd, Chris Bramble successfully laid down a bunt single, leading to their third run of the game.  3-0 Wesley
