Two potent offenses went to war.  Unfortunately, the Sandburg Eagles came out on top snapping the Porters win streak at sixteen games.  With the final score of 12-10, the Porters received offense from an abundance of players, but just received little support from their defense who committed four errors on the game.

As the offense managed to score at least a run every inning the Porters couldn’t slow down the Sandburg bats. 

Between timely errors by the defense and the bats of the Eagles, Nick Davito and Ricky Hermosillo struggled to keep the Eagles off the board.

  With a late surge of offense the Porters were able to pull off a victory over Plainfield North in the bottom of the seventh inning to extend their win streak to sixteen games.  Down six to five in the bottom of the seventh, Tyler McAdams and Adam Hillebold were able to drive in the tying and winning runs.

Another key performer was Tony Russo who came up with a big 2 out base hit in the 2nd to drive in 2 runs.
