Spicer came back a half an inning later with two runs of their own to take their first lead at 2-1. Morris did not stay behind for long and added four runs in the bottom of the fifth to go back ahead 5-2. 

Three runs were not enough for the 29ers and they scored three more in the sixth for good measure to secure the 8-2 victory.

Asmus added two runs and Kehoe had two RBI. Andrew Marty, Drew Huebner and Justin Giese all finished the game with one hit.

The combination of Landen Gibson and Alex Asmus on the mound was deadly for Morris. Gibson got the start and pitched five innings, allowing two runs off two hits and struck out six. Asmus threw the final two innings and allowed no runs off two hits and struck out two.
