HOW IT HAPPENED AT CABRINI-CARROLL BASEBALL FIELD
Kyle Brex,
Andrew Yates, and
Nick Barenz immediately got things rolling for the Pride in the top of the first with two hits and Barenz advancing to first after being hit from a pitch. With three on base the Pride could not bring any home as the inning came to an end from a foul out from
Stephen Posner. On the defensive side, the Pride kept the game close but gave up a run from a single that snuck through the infield. The second inning gave scoreless results from both sides. The top of the third continued the hitting with a hit from Barnez. After a pitching change for the Pride,
