Turning Point
Keiser did not have to dig too far to turn the game around in its favor, plating six runs in the top of the second to quickly jump on the Night Hawks. Fitzpatrick and Dylan Dore each recorded two RBIs during the explosive inning in which the Seahawks notched six hits.
 
How it Happened

• After a scoreless first inning, Keiser plated six runs in the second for the early 6-0 advantage that would never be relinquished.
• With runners on second and third with no outs in the top of the second, Fitzpatrick singled down the right field line to plate Carlos Pena and Jack Curtis for the 2-0 advantage.
• After a Seiter single and a Tom Prospero walk loaded the bases, the Seahawks scored another run when Gabby Mundo popped out to center field for the sacrifice fly, bringing Fitzpatrick home to score.
• With Seiter and Prospero on the corners with one out, Dore recorded two RBIs with a double to deep left field to give Keiser the 5-0 advantage.
• The final run of the inning came from an RBI single by Curtis who started the inning off with a leadoff walk.
• The Seahawks added an insurance run in the top half of the third inning when Prospero singled to center field, plating Fitzpatrick from third for the 7-0 lead.
• Keiser was not done as the Seahawks scored for the third straight inning after Berges and Faneyte belted back-to-back home runs to open the top of the fourth.
• The Seahawks lead was stretched to 10-0 in the top of the fourth when Prospero collected another RBI with a single to center field to plate Fitzpatrick once again.
• The Night Hawks were held hitless until the bottom of the fourth after Melo and Westbrook recorded back-to-back singles but were unable to cut into the deficit.
• The final run of the game came via the bases-loaded sacrifice fly from Pena, bringing Berges in to score for the 11-0 lead.
• Johnathan Clarke came in to relieve Keatts in the bottom of the seventh, keeping Thomas off the scoreboard and allowing Keiser to end the game early due to the 10-run mercy rule that was brought into play after seven innings.
