Ontario Walks Off Shelby In Extras 12-11
ONTARIO --- The Ontario Warriors won its second extra inning game in as many days once again holding off a late Shelby Whippet comeback 12-11 in 8 innings.
The Whippets (3-2, 0-2 MOAC) struck first in the top of the first with two runs, but like in the first matchup the Warriors (3-0, 2-0 MOAC) got off to a strong start scoring seven runs in the opening frame for a 7-2 lead. They then added on with two more in the second for a 9-2 lead and what appeared to a run away victory, but, once again like in the first matchup, Shelby did not go away scoring nine times in the fourth inning to take an 11-9 lead.
Ontario would tie the game in the fifth on a 2 RBI double by Colten Ramion, his fourth RBI of the game, to tie the game at 11.
Both teams had the opportunity to add on in regulation, but could not convert sending the game to extra innings for the second consecutive day.
After an empty top of the eighth, the Warriors finished things off in the bottom. Ryan Brophy was hit by a pitch to start the frame then stole second. After taking third on a passed ball, he would take home on a wild pitch and the Warrior 12-11 victory.
