Singles by Ridge Lester (currently No. 11 in WV Class of 2019 rankings) and Jacob Carr (currently No.4 in WV Class of 2019 rankings) tied the game at two in the second.  St. Albans took a commanding lead in the third by using four hits to capitalize on some wildness by the Big Reds pitcher.  Lester, Wes Medley, Carr and Connor Fizer (currently No. 18 in WV Class of 2019) all singled resulting in a 6-2 Red Dragon's lead.
