HOW IT HAPPENED

• Curry jumped out to a 4-0 lead after scoring two runs in each of the first two innings. Aaron Siegel hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the first for the Colonels.
• Albertus got on the board in the top of the fourth inning with a run and scored four more in the top of the fifth to take a 5-4 lead. During the rallly, Gio Morales (Manchester, Conn.) and Espada opened the inning with walks. Two batters later, Spataj was intentionally walked to load the bases for Galarza who ripped a double to center field to clear the bases and tie the game at 4-4. Arent then reached on an error on a ball hit to left field, allowing Galarza to score and give Albertus the 5-4 lead.
• The Falcons scored two more times in in the top of the sixth as Anthony Abate hit a two-run single to left to score Espada and Morales to give the Falcons a 7-4 lead.
• Curry scored a run in the bottom of the sixth to make it a 7-5 game.
• The first two batters reached base in the bottom of the ninth for the Colonels, and George Calderon drove in a run on a groundout to make it a one-run game. The Colonels tied the game when a wild pitch on a strikeout to Nick Krise scored Brady Callahan, tying the game, 7-7.
• Curry won in the game in the bottom of the tenth as pinch-hitter Alex Barker-Hook hit a double to score Tino Gagliardi.
