Down 3-0, Colin McCusker (Pacific University, Timberline HS) started the Silvers scoring in the bottom of the seventh with a two run single driving in Drew Madsen (Olympic College) and Motoki Kawashima (Merced College).

The tie was broken when Madsen stole home. Colby Fitzgerald (Bellevue University) doubled in two more runs to give the Silvers a 7-4 lead.
The Saints wouldn’t go quietly in the top of the ninth. Naoki Imeto (Olympic College) hit Quin Hartman (Green River CC) and walked Riley Shintaffer (Centralia College) and gave up a one out base hit to Devin Ferguson (Bellevue University) that scored Hartman and cut the Silvers lead to 7-5. Chase DeCoito (Saint Martin’s) relieved Imeto and quickly gave up an RBI single to Jose Acosta (Centralia College) but coaxed a double play out of the next batter to end the game.
