Game One

Marist would answer in the bottom of the third inning when ‘21 SS San Diego recruit, Thomas Rollauer, lined a double down the left field line that would tie the game at two.

Another 2-run double by the War Eagles in the inning would give them a 4-2 lead. This time, 2021 Georgia Tech recruit, Tyler Hare, would turn a pitch around down the right field line. This would not be the last we hear from Hare on the day.
