Game Notes: Pecatonica chalked up its first loss of the season in a tight game that wasn't decided until the bottom of the last inning.

In the 1st inning, Mt. Horeb #2 managed to get two runners to base on walks, but Pecatonica's starting pitcher, J. Scoville, struck out three others to close out the top of the inning. So, Pecatonica got on the scoreboard first when D. Conwell's double to left field knocked in N. Loyd.

In the 2nd, the lead would change when Mt. Horeb batters got up to bat. First, they loaded the bases on walks. Then, the first run to score was on another walk, and a change of pitchers didn't help. Pecatonica's S. McVay took the mound and walked in two more runs before he left the mound citing pain in his thumb. The next relief pitcher was D. Conwell who hit the first batter he faced before striking out the next two, giving the Vikings a chance at bat. Pecatonica's N. Spink scored the only run for the Vikings thanks to a single hit to left centerfield by J. Hendrickson.

Behind by two, Pecatonica would rely on its own hitters in the 3rd inning to tie the game, beginning with a double popped over the shortstop's head by J. Melvin, a single for an RBI by J. Scoville, a single by N. Loyd, and a sacrifice fly to right field by T. Gilson for another RBI.

In the 4th, the Vikings again took the lead by capitalizing on walks and another single by J. Hendrickson, which knocked in two runs. Defensively, Pecatonica's catcher, T. Gilson would play a unique roll in an unusual double-play. With one out and two runners at first and second, a Mt. Horeb batter hit an infield grounder. First baseman J. Scoville fielded the ball, but unable to beat the baserunner to first, and seeing a runner rounding third for home, Scoville threw the ball to Gilson who tagged the runner for out #2. But then with another runner advancing toward third, Gilson attempted to throw him out at third but failed. However, when third baseman, D. Clark, missed Gilson's throw, the runner opted to head for home. Clark was able to retrieve the ball in time and throw it to Gilson who tagged the runner out at home plate for the final out of the inning.

In the 5th, Mt. Horeb #2 would again tie the game. Facing new relief pitcher, N. Loyd, the first two runners made it to base on balls. The next made it to first on a fielder's choice. Loyd struck out the fourth batter. But, with bases loaded, the fifth batter hit a long fly ball to right field, knocking in one run. A fielding error on the part of right fielder, S. McVay, resulted in a second run scoring on that same play.
When it was Pecatonica's turn at bat, the Vikings managed to get two runners on base with a hit and an error, but the next three batters got out.

So the game would be decided in the 6th inning, and Mt. Horeb #2 capitalized on walks for the second time in the game by loading the bases. A wild pitch that hit a batter sent the winning run across home plate, before Pecatonica recorded its third out of the inning. The Vikings still had one final chance at bat but, after the first two batters struck out and with the tying run on first, the final batter grounded out.

Player of the Game - J. Hendrickson - 3 RBIs on 2 singles
