Millennium @ Pinnacle

Scoring Summary

In a 9-8 baseball game you don’t expect to hear about pitching heroics or a complete-game victory, but that's the big story here. Millennium’s Tatum Hendrix survived the Tiger’s shoddy defense and came up big at the end to earn his 8th win of the season. In the bottom of the 7th, aided by right fielder Geno Jacobs’ spectacular over-the-shoulder catch on the warning track, Hendrix was clinging to a one-run lead with two outs and the bases loaded. On a 2-2 pitch Hendrix froze Parker Manahan on a knee-buckling curveball for his 7th strike-out of the day to preserve the victory.

Millennium got production from 7 of the 9 hitters, with sophomore catcher AJ Diggs driving in what proved to be the winning run on a 2-out infield single in the 6th inning. An offensive summary is provided below.
