HOW IT HAPPENED
Game One

  • R-MC extended the lead with a sacrifice fly in the third and BC responded yet again as Tharp and Brandan Hartman reached but the duo was left stranded. The Yellow Jackets added on to the lead with two runs in the fourth and another in the fifth to make it a 7-0 advantage.
  • Jarret Biesecker extended his career hitting mark in the bottom of the fifth with two gone. Hartman dug in after Tharp walked and delivered with a single through the left side to score the Eagles leadoff man and get BC on the board.
  • Randolph-Macon added a run in the sixth and then tagged on five more in the top of the ninth to make it 13-1.
  • Bridgewater got back on the board in the bottom of the ninth as Luke Olimpio single to right field with two men on bringing Luke Tomajczyk in to score, but the damage had already been done.
