CPA @ MBA
MBA Big Red raced out to an early lead as Soph. Stanford commit Christian Lim worked quickly through a tough CPA lineup. '23 SS Aidan Conley, '21 2B Mark Pyburn (Centre commit), and '21 1B Dustin Lee (Kenyon commit) lead the offense at the top of the order. CPA was able to rally late and tie the game at 3-3 with two outs in the 7th. The teams would trade zeroes in extras before CPA plated one in the 10th and MBA would match with one of their own in the bottom half as the game was called due to sunlight, resulting in a 4-4 tie.
