After a quiet second inning, Littleton tied the game in the top of the third with an RBI single to the outfield by Jacob Allaire. In the bottom of the third, Dawson McCowen led off with a single and Fogg followed with a double to put runners on second and third with nobody out. Littleton pitcher Derek Walker got out of the jam with help from catcher Brody Fillion, who made several stops behind the plate to pre- vent any runs from coming in. In the top of the fourth, Fogg came in to pitch and struck out the side. Colebrook took the lead in the bottom frame. With runners on first and third, Mc- Cowen hit a sacrifice fly to cen- terfield, where Allaire made a nice grab to prevent any more runs from scoring. In the bottom of the fifth, Cameron Frizzell reached on a walk and later scored on a single by Adam Young to give Cole- brook a 4-2 lead. In the top of the sixth, Fogg struck out the first two batters. After Nathaniel Atkins singled and Tyler Murro walked, Fogg struck out the next batter to end the game.
