MID-ATLANTIC REGIONAL
GAME 9

Recap:
Taylor Ward became the hometown hero for Central Appalachia as the outfielder hit a three-run jack in the bottom of the 8th to win it for the home side after a tense game. Philadelphia opener Ryan Castellani and follower A.J. Alexy no-hit the home side well into the 8th inning before the nine-hole hitter Cullen Large broke it up with a single up the middle. That was the end for Alexy, who handed the ball over to Tim Mayza, who then gave up another hit to Adam Engel before an Andrew Benintendi sac bunt led to Taylor Ward's heroics.
