Hobie is strong

at Riddle Field.

Team Hobie found itself down, 2-1, in the fourth inning, but it

was their that it began to rally.

Back-to-back singles by Jack Pillsbury and Remington Zona set the

stage for Michael Kimball, who came up with a two-run double for a

3-1 Team Hobie lead.

Relief pitcher Alex Bekken took the mound for Team Hobie in the

bottom of the fourth inning, and proceeded to allow just two base

runners in the final three innings.

Friedenrich and Sawyer Pierce.

RBI double by Freidenrich.
