HOW IT HAPPENED:
Top of 1st inning: The Red Dragons capitalized off of a pair of throwing errors and wild pitches to grab the early lead (1-0).

Bottom of 1st inning: The Lynx wasted no time in getting that run back as Peter York started off the inning with an infield single, a throwing error put runners on the corners, and then a piece of good base running plated the tying run (1-1).

Bottom of 3rd inning: Rhodes was able to grab the lead in the bottom of the third frame. A Will Heurtin single up the middle got things started for the Lynx. Paul Giacomazzi followed that with a hard hit double to left center which brought Heurtin all away around to score (2-1). Wood Kimbrough topped off the scoring for the inning with a two run homer over the left field fence (4-1).

Bottom of 6th inning: Seth Rohlwing reached first on a throwing error. Nathan Mirochnick pinch ran for Rohlwing and immediately made an impact on the base paths as he stole second on the first pitch. Willard Overstreet also was able to reach base on a throwing error which also brought Mirochnick to third. York hit a ground ball to the first baseman to bring home Mirochnick (5-1).

Top of 7th inning: The Red Dragons were able to chip away at the lead as they recorded four base knocks which resulted in two runs scoring (5-3).

Top of the 9th inning: Oneonta decided to make things interesting in the final frame as a home run brought the Red Dragons within one from the lead (5-4), Dubs slammed the door and sent the Lynx fans home happy.
