In the fourth, Paul led off with a double and scored on the next batter when Carter legged out an infield sin- gle, but the throw again was wide which allowed Paul to score for a 3-0 Post 1 advantage. Posts 193/24 evened things up in the bottom of the inning by finally getting to Florence starter Nick Collins, who had allowed just one hit to that point. Another fielding miscue came back to haunt Post 1. Andrew Livingston reached on a 1-out error, went to sec- ond on a wild pitch and made it to third on a sacrifice bunt. A hit batsman put runners on the corners and Chapin/Newberry put to- gether four straight hits to tie the game at 3-3, highlighted by RBI singles from Trey Kinard, Robert King and Preston Farmer. It stayed that way until the sixth when lightning in the area halted play. That was followed by a rain delay, which pushed the restart all the way to 8:50 p.m. – about two hours after the teams were originally pulled off the field. When play resumed, Florence re- took the lead – once again – to C/N miscues. With two down and Paul on first, Hardee hit what looked like an inning-ending grounder to second, but the throw was wide and Hardee wound up on second with Paul scoring the go-ahead run. Post 1 added another tally thanks to a pair of wild pitches to take a 5-3 lead. Posts 193/24 got a run right back, however. Kinard walked and took sec- ond when the throw on a pickoff at- tempt went into the stands.
