The Bears held their own early and they took a 1-0 run lead in the top of the first inning when Nathan Searcy walked and scored when Seth Duke singled to leftfield.  The Bears extended their lead to 2-0 later in the inning when C. Bruister scored on a passed ball behind the Owl’s catcher.

Disaster struck for THS when Chireno rallied and brought seventeen batters to the plate in the bottom of the third inning. The Bears used three different pitchers, Colton Carroll, Jackson Holloway, and C. Crawford, in the third frame before the inning ended with CHS holding an 11-3 run lead.

Timpson fought back to score runs in the fourth and fifth inning which cut the Owl’s lead to 11-5 but another Chireno rally in the bottom of the fifth inning gave CHS a 10-run lead which ended the game due to the league’s 10-run mercy-rule.
