2B: Baroudi SB: Baroudi, Croushorn, Hall, Kinder and Roberts

Similar to game 1 game 2 turned out to be a fantastic pitchers duel through 6 innings though neither pitcher would factor in the decision. Team Blue starter Andre Kinder threw 6 innings of scoreless baseball allowing 3 hits, 2 base-on-balls while striking out 10. Team Grey starter countered with senior Yimy Rodriguez (Rochester, NY) who also tossed 6 innings of scoreless baseball allowing 3 hits, 2 base-on-balls while striking out 5. Team Grey was finally able to crack the goose egg in the top of the 7th on a 2 out run scoring single by freshman infielder Franklin Bush (Norva Springs, IA). Team Grey went on to add 2 more runs in the top of the 8th with 3 straight 2 out hits capped by a 2-run double by freshman outfielder Darrick Ramaekers (Columbus, NE). Team Blue would not back down, however, as they rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the 8th lead by a 2-rbi double by Senior Centerfielder Ryan Baroudi (Amherst, NY). Team Grey answered the call by bouncing back to score two runs in the top of the 9th capped by a run scoring single by Junior leftfielder Patrick Knabe (Lincoln, NE).

Game 3: Grey 12 Blue 1 W: Glasgow, J L: Baroudi
2B: Jalass, Knabe SB: Baroudi

The 3rd and decisive game turned out to a fairly non-competitive affair. Team Grey turned in a very solid offensive performance and by doing so laid claim to bragging for this year. Jesse Glasgow bounced back from the game 1 loss with a solid 5 inning performance to earn the win. Glasgow allowed 3 hits, 1 earned run, walked 3 and struck out 4. Sophomore Jordan Hall (Sterling, CO) came on to throw 2 innings of hitless and scoreless relief to wrap up the game and series. The game was shortened to 7 innings due to the 10 run rule. Team Blue only managed to bang out 3 hits one of which was a RBI double by Ryan Baroudi. Offensively, 6 players had multi-hit day for Team Grey led by Senior outfielder Brandon Jalass who was 2-4 with a double and 3 rbi on the day. Pat Knabe went 2-3 with a double, 3 runs scored and an rbi double. Brenden Gentry (2-4, rbi), James Welty (2-4, rbi), Bobby Last (2-3) and Alenjandro Gonzalez (2-4, 2 rbi) also chipped in for the winning team.
