Stallions started out flat and fell behind 6-1. in bottom of 4th there was a rain delay for over an hour. Stallions got back to work and tied the game in the bottom of the sixth when Thomas Welch hit a standup double with the bases loaded sending the game into extra innings.
Hunter Welch started the bottom of the 7th with a ground rule double and moved to 3rd on a sac fly. Dodge then intentionally loaded the bases with 2 walks trying to set up a force play at the plate, Alex Mast then hit copper up the middle that the pitcher was not able to handle allowing Weldon to score the winning run.
After the rain delay Mike Russell came in and really turned the game around striking out 4 and allowing only 1 hit in the last 3 innings.
