The Warriors rallied in the last two innings to salvage the final game of the Memorial Weekend tournament on Sunday in Midlothian. While trailing 4-2, Grant Lewis hit a towering home run over the leftfield fence to tie the ballgame. Midlothian then scored three runs to take a 7-4 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning. Danny Poulos singled to centerfield to make the score 7-5 before the game proceeded into the final inning of play.
Grant Lewis kept the Warriors in the game by retiring the last six Midlothian hitters and holding the opponent scoreless after entering the game in the sixth inning. The Warriors closed to within one run (7-6) when Mike Rafferty came to the plate with one out and runners on second and third base. Mike lined a base hit into leftfield to score both runs and to cap off a late inning come from behind victory over Midlothian on its home field.
This was the Warriors second victory over Midlothian. Coincidentally, the two teams will match up once again this Saturday in Midlothian!
