Fast foward to the bottom of the 9th, 2 outs and basesloaded, #24 Carter Evans forces a catchers interference on a swing forcing Cole in to score the winning run.
On the mound for the Dragons, #5 Brandon Trefren got the start. Trefren threw for 4 1/3 innings, recording 4 Ks and allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. #15 Patrick Hickox came on 1 2/3 innings in relief, recording 1 K and allowing 1 run on 4 hits. Chaz Evans was next on the hill to close out the game in regulation, facing the minimum in the 7th to keep the Warriors quite. In extra innings, #22 Brooks Beddow stepped-up and faced the minimum, 6 batters through 2 innings recording 2 Ks allowing 0 runs and 0 hits. Ethan Page came up big on defense for Dragons at 2nd base recording 2 putouts and 7 assists including turning a 4-6-3 Double Play to #6 Kasan Rainey and Caleb Chandler to stop an early Oconne County threat.
