Same inning Jet Swartz hits one to the shortstop that takes a bad hop… Ryan Smith would come home from 3rd and it was 6-4 Hawks still on top. Later with the score tied at 6-all Toppers Jackson Berry rips a double into rightfield…Toppers Landon Smelser races home and Science Hill led 7-6.
Hardin Valley went back to work at the plate… Henry Ferguson hammers this pitch to the wall in right and he would end up with a stand-up double…However he was left stranded on base. On the mound for the Hawks Micah Hoffmeister was nasty as he strikes out the batter to end the inning. Hardin Valley would win on a walk off homerun to end the Toppers season 8-7.
