On the pitching side, Collin Hysell had a .200 ERA, faced 25, had 8 K’s, and almost pitched a no-hitter until the 7th inning, giving up 3 hits, who all came in.
Homedale’s Late Rally
Homedale’s victory came in the final inning of the game when they scored three points, securing their win. It was an impressive comeback, and Homedale’s players and fans were ecstatic with the result.
