GAME 2
Heading into the bottom of the sixth, the game was tied up 1-1. Brodey Neveker stepped to the plate and smoked his fifth homer of the season over the centerfield fence. Once it left the bat, it was a no-doubter. Biggest play of the game that didn't make the boxscore was CCBC Catonsville threatening late in the game with just one out and a runner on third. A deep fly ball was hit to centerfield and it appeared Catonsville would push across the go-ahead run. That was not the case as FCC's Joshua Wilson made the perfect catch and unloaded a missle to the plate for the bang-bang play at the plate as the runner was called out.
This game featured two of the top arms in Region 20 D2 baseball and the Daniel Leo vs. Travis Weaver matchup didn't disappoint the large crowd on Saturday afternoon. Leo went the distance and remains perfect on the year. He is sporting a record of 4-0.
