Score: Top of the 7th...
Menchville 6
West Springfield 4
Somewhat surprisingly, Matt Armstead starts on mound, Cotton comes in in relief is dominating, something like 9 Ks in 3.2 IP going into the 7th.

Any idea who is pitching for West Springfield?
Final:
Menchville 6
West Springfield 5
Mike Kent started for WS, allowed all 6 runs in 6 IP. Bobby Wahl pitched a scoreless 7th.
Jahrel Cotten in relief - 4.2 IP, 1 H, 1 unearned run, 0 BB, 12Ks(!)... WOW (and game-tying RBI single). I think Jeff Gray was 3-4, with 2 doubles & 2 RBI. He drove in the eventual game-winning run with a 2-run single in the 6th, breaking a 4-4 tie. Davern Lake hit a HR in the top of the 1st.
Bryn Renner for WS was 4-4, 2B, HR, 3 RBI. Someone else for WS had a HR as well (Nelson?).
... Menchville moves on to State Finals Sunday vs winner of Cox-Hanover, being played at 7:30pm. To listen to the game live, go to www.gamedaymagazine.com

The other home run for west springfield was Charlie Morgan
Cotten is impressive. Able to move the ball all over the plate commanding different speeds depending on the count - full control. WS watched 3rd Ks up and down the line-up.
WS first baseman was pulled off the bag several times from bad throws. One bad call at 2nd for WS, but the score reflects a hard fought battle for Menchville. And it was tight until the last out - last run came in for WS in 7th with 2 outs.
