Coach Aaron Vachon decided to change things up and brought in Shawn Francoeur in the fourth inning. Francoeur would be tagged with five runs in four innings. However, in the fifth inning, as the Lyman Moore bench started feeling cocky. A brilliant play from centerfield took out a runner. Colby Waterhouse ran down a ball at the fence and threw it to cut off player Nate Boyle who relayed to third baseman Christian Coons who made the tag a good eight feet from the base. However the Lyman Moore assault continued and the Eagles weren’t able to score more runs.
