Game Notes: Lady Explorers jumped to a 6-0 lead after 2 innings. Ice Cubes got 1 run in the bottom of the 3rd and then erupted for 5 runs in the 5th inning on 6 hits to tie it at 6's. Explorers got 2 on with 2 out in the top 7th but couldn't score. Ice loaded the bases in bot 7th with no outs and things were looking rough for the Explorers. 1st out comes on a ground ball from 2nd base to the catcher to cut the lead runner. 2nd out comes on a soft liner to 1st base and the 3rd out goes short to first on a ground ball to end the threat. In the top 8th with the international tie breaker in effect with a runner on 2nd base, Julia Gross lays down a perfect sac bunt to advance the runner to 3rd. Lauren Castellon singles in the run to go up 7-6. A fielders choice gets a force at 2nd for out number two. Maddie Burgess singles to put two runners in base. Tara Gross hits a sharp single to the outfield and it skips by the charging outfielder going all the way to the fence. Gross and the other two all score to go up 10-6. The score doesn't describe how close the game was as the fans got their money's worth! Ice Cubes went down in order in the bot of 8th to end it.
