Game recaps : Mound 3 @ Maple plain 5. Maple Plain got off to a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a walk, single and a double with a throwing error on the relay that allowed the second run to score (MP 2- Mound 0). The Mallards got 1 back in the 4th after Chris Harrell got a 2 bagger and with 2 outs Mike Mitchell singled to right to drive him in (MP 2- Mound 1). Maple Plain came back in the bottom of the 5th with a single and the next batter bunted the runner over but the throw sailed high to allow the runner to gain third for 1st and third with nobody out. A sac fly and another one of the 4 Mallard double plays kept the score at 3-1 (MP 3- Mound 1). Mound came right back again in the 6th. Peter Sycks doubled and again with 2 outs the Mallards came through with a Eddie Kutz 2 bagger to drive in the run (MP 3- Mound 2). In the bottom of the 6th the Devils came right back again on a hit by pitch, single followed by another single but Mound turned a double play and stopped the inning at 1 run (MP 4- Mound 2). In the 8th MP added to the lead with a single steal of 2nd and another single in which there may have been a play at the plate but Mound missed the cut and the runner cruised home for an insurance run (MP 5 Mound 2). It looked as if Mound would go down in the 9th without a fight but With 2 outs Robb Moynagh singled to right and Peter Sycks worked out a walk in a 8 pitch at bat to bring Andy Snyder up with the game tying run. Andy crushed a ball to the left center field gap that some how was cut off before it made it to the fence scoring only 1 run and putting runners on 1st and second. Unfortunately the next batter would pop foul to 3rd to end the game (MP 5- Mound 3).
