Fellowship Christian scored in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, but was unable to keep pace with the Tigers run production.
Play was temporarily halted in the bottom of the sixth inning when three Canadian Geese landed in left field, apparently with the intention of staying put. The Tiger's left fielder, Jackson Weldon, managed to convince the birds to leave and play resumed, only to be halted in the top of the seventh inning due to darkness.
