[Walnut Creek Crawdads @WCCrawdads]

@Dylanperezzzz steals second, then third before coming around to score on a @Kp8thegreat single to left-center. He advances to second on an error. We have the lead with only one out!

B2: 2-1, Crawdads

[Walnut Creek Crawdads @WCCrawdads]

@barrettronson17 rockets a double into the left field gap and comes around to score following a @Dylanperezzzz single. Tie game!

B2: 1-1

A look at the 4-6-3 twin killing from @Rowles1Peyton to @TJWoodson5 to @barrettronson17 that gave us a pair of outs in the top of the second!
