After Red Land tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a solo home run, the Trojans scored twice in the top of the 10th. Aaron Vasquez led off with a single and, after an out, Ceagan Truett singled him to third. A fly ball to centerfield by Tyler Brechbiel enabled Vasquez to score. Then came a single by Jake Folmar and a walk to Logan Draper to load the bases, and a Joey Diaz single brought in the final run.

Harrison Benedict entered to pitch and sat the Patriots down, giving up only a walk, to earn a save. Colton Wadel got the win after pitching 5 innings in relief, allowing 3 hits and a run.

"I'm proud of the kids — we got down 3-0 early and battled back," Chambersburg coach Scott Folmar said. "Wadel did a fantastic job. He hasn't thrown much for us, but he kept us in the game. And Benedict threw his first pitches yesterday, and came in today in a crucial situation and did the job."

In the seventh, with the score 3-3, the Trojans had a runner thrown out at home plate. Then the Patriots had the bases loaded with one out and Chambersburg pulled off an unusual double play. A shallow fly ball to leftfielder Evan Brown got the second out. He threw home to catcher Brady Deneen, who then threw to second to catch that runner off the bag.

"It was a crazy game, and that inning was really crazy," Folmar said.

Chambersburg (5-12, 3-10 MPC) piled up 14 hits, including 2 each by Deneen, Truett, Jake Folmar, and Diaz, and Brechbiel had 2 RBIs.
