Landon Barkley took the loss for the Bolivar Richburg Wolverines. The hurler allowed five hits and three runs over three and a third innings, striking out three.
In a scoreless game in the bottom of the third, Jimmy Fanara, the leadoff hitter for the inning, was hit by a pitch.

Jaden Sherwood would follow with an RBI double.
The Irish scored again in the fourth. Jordan Welker reached on a fielder's choice, and proceed to steal second and third. On his steal of third, the catcher's throw went wide of the base allowing Welker to score the game's third and final run.
