After Bear Grass took a 5-4 lead by scoring two runs in the top of the fifth, RC Twin Rivers staged what later proved to be their game-winning rally in the bottom half of the same inning. There, Noah Harris raced home on a wild pitch; Parker Bradley plated a run thanks to his RBI sacrifice fly, and Logan Earley added a run-scoring single.
The Redbirds tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth inning where Trent Hobbs laced a two-RBI single to centerfield.
Bear Grass jumped out to an early 3-0 lead thanks to a pair of runs in the top of the first inning followed by a solo marker in the third frame.
The Redbirds got right back in the game on one swing of Tyrek Beverly’s bat as he crushed a pitch over the leftfield fence for a grand slam homer and a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the third.
Bradley (3 innings) and Alden Lassiter (4 innings) worked the mound for the Redbirds. Lassiter was credited with the pitching win.
RC Twin Rivers collected seven hits led by two each from Beverly and Earley.
