Billy Spottswood s sacrifice bunt moved Morales, the tying run, to second. Morales then stole third base, and Juan Menendez flied out to put a runner on third with two outs for Ben Harrison. Harrison doubled to centerfield, his second of the game, to score Morales and tie the game. With the score tied, the Bucs decided to intentionally walk Dane Artman bringing up Aaron Marn. Marn then blasted a three run homerun over the centerfield fence to end the game and give the Conchs the 7-4 victory.
Baseball is a funny game and strange things happen.
Luck was definitely on our side in the end, but we are the better team and it would be a shame to lose a game when the other team only had two hits. The Conchs next travel to Boca Raton to defend their Pepsi National High School Baseball Classic championship from last season thanks to tournament sponsor First State Bank. Their first game will be Monday at 1 p.m. against Coral Springs High School.
