Austin Wilson then hit a slow roller along the third base line. The ball was fielded by the Batavia pitcher who threw the ball wildly passed the first baseman, allowing both Campbell and Bobbitt to score to make it 3-0.
In the bottom of the sixth, Batavia plated two runs to make it 3-2.
Going to the seventh, Lawson said, the Midland Field groundskeeper momentarily called the game because of a wet mound. However, Lawson encourage the groundskeeper to work on the mound to allow the teams to play the final inning.
"We didn't want to call the game," said Lawson. "This was a pretty important game and we wanted to finish it."
So after a brief delay, the game resumed. Tyler Muncy set down the Bulldogs in order in the bottom of the seventh on three ground ball outs.
