Baseball Recap: Everglades Victorious

It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Everglades ultimately got the result they hoped for on Thursday. They won by a run and slipped past the Ferguson Falcons 3-2. That's two games straight that the Gators have won by just one run.

Gabriel Billini was excellent, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI. That stolen base marked the first that he's stolen this season. Another player making a difference was Matthew Urena, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3.
