West-Oak: 6                                            Gilbert: 0

Starting pitching would hold strong for both teams for the first 4 innings. However West Oak was powered by a 6-run 5^th inning that included RBI’s from Kurt Rogers, and Carlos Escamilla, as well as an Error and a Wild Pitch. Austin Stephens would continue to throw a gem for West Oak, only allowing 2 hits on the day. West Oak forces a game 3 to decide the 3A State Championship.
