The Pirates plated three runs in their first at bat as Aaron Green doubled. Garrett Harris and John Locke both reached base and that set up a 2 RBI single by Trevin Hall. Locke came home to score on an error and the Pirates led 3-0. Cottondale failed to score in their at bat but the Pirates added more runs in the second. Green led off with a single and Harris reached on an error. Locke was then hit by a pitch to load the bases. Hall hit into a fielder’s choice but that brought Green home to score. That is when Hayes stepped to the plate and sent one deep over the left center field fence. That put the Pirates up 7-0 going to the bottom of the second.
Cottondale got three runs in their second at bat as Caleb Toole reached after being hit by a pitch. Aaron McClain singled and Devin Thomas reached base on a fielder’s choice that scored Toole.
