GAME ONE

Hood erased a three-run deficit in the bottom of the seventh, but a two-run homer by Justin Taylor in the ninth gave Lancaster Bible the 10-8 win.

Pinch hitters Nat Puryear (Frederick, Md. / Tuscarora) and Paul Quattrone (Laurel, Md. / Reservoir) drew bases loaded walks to bring Hood within 8-7 with one out. Taylor came on to pitch and balked in the tying run, but recorded the final two outs to send the game to extra innings tied at 8-8.

The two teams remained deadlocked until Taylor's blast in the ninth. 

Hood trailed 2-0 before a four-run second gave the Blazers the lead. After Johnson led off the inning with a walk, back-to-back doubles by Shriver and Fulton tied the game. Turner singled in a run and scored on an Esposito double to make it 4-2.
