Dennis Holt (UCLA) opened things up for the Sweets when he blasted a 2 run home run early in the game, scoring teammate Andy Matthews (Lewis & Clark), and taking a 2-0 lead. Hot hitting from Dennis Holt, Andy Matthews, and Josh Daniel (St. John’s) led the Sweets offensively. Holt went 2 for 4 at the plate with 2 RBI, Matthews went 2 for 4 with a double, and Daniel went 1 for 4 with an RBI.
Top notch pitching from Joey Wagman (Cal Poly) stifled the Pirates, only giving up 1 hit through the first 4 innings of play, and only 3 more hits after that.
Bryndon Ecklund started chipping away for his Pirates with an RBI single in the 5th, giving them their first run of the game. His efforts weren’t enough as Josh Daniel answered back in the 6th smashing an RBI single to extend their lead, and eventually give them the game.
