Santa Fe 9, FSCJ 4

FSCJ was able to tie the game at 3-3 in the top of the 6th inning on RBI singles from Billy Girgis and RBI sacrifice flies from Carson Womer and Brooks Hicken. Braden Kessel contributed an RBI single in the 9th. Mac Wilkins led the charge on offense with 3 hits. Girgis and Ashton Nugent had multi-hit games as well. Dylan Peck started on the mound for the BlueWave and went two innings, allowing two runs. Ethan Yesensky allowed his first run of the season in 1.1 innings. Ethan Wilford contributed a scoreless inning. Dylan Cope (1-2) took the loss for the FSCJ, allowing three runs in 0.2 innings. Ethan Carroll (IP, 1 R), Joshua Rouw (1.1 IP, 1 R), and Connor Nelson (IP, 0 R) also pitched for FSCJ.
