York scored 2 in the 7^th to take a 4-3 lead.   Central came back in the bottom of the 7th to tie it up at 4 apiece as Camalick singled and advanced to 2^nd on a nice sac bunt by Ryan Connelly.  He took 3^rd on a wild pitch and scored on an RBI single from David Kiyosaki.  Central held York scoreless in the 8^th .  The Red Devils won the game when Alex Tufano singled and pinch runner Phil Hurst advanced to 3^rd on a wild pick-off throw to 1^st base.  Jack Hellwig hit a slow roller down the 1^st base line to score Hurst and win the game.

David Kiyosaki pitched the final 2 innings of the game allowing 2 runs on 4 hits with 2 punch-outs.  It was a good come from behind win and a great team effort for the Red Devils!
