Bottom of the fourth ans the first two Winterville batters get on. The third strikes out swinging and the fourth (who we have the shift on for), hits one to Blake at third who makes an incredible line drive catch. He then sees that the runner from first who hasn't tagged up is half way to second and attempts to throw him out at first. He gets back to first when the ball doesn't connect with our second basemen, rolling behind first base, scoring a runner and the guy from first moves to second. Fifth batter pops up to #11 Grayson at catcher.
One run has scored in the fourth for Winterville and the score 12-2.
