In the home fifth, the Eagles put a three spot on the board thanks to Noah Basham’s RBI single and
Austin Kirkbride’s two run RBI’s. This seesaw rumble was now a 5-5 game.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Titans took charge highlighted by a Jake Freeland triple to right center. Hidden Valley would put three runn across that inning and added another run in the seventh to take their 9-5 lead. They blanked Franklin County in the sixth and seventh to hold on to the victory.
