Game 1 - Lyndon 4, Colby-Sawyer 3 (9inn.)

The Chargers quickly gained a 1-0 advantage at the top of the first after a score from Jackson Musco. 

Both teams would be at a standstill until the bottom of the sixth.  As Reece Tanguay was stealing second, the catcher's throw was off the mark and the ball continued into the outfield where the ball was misplayed by the center fielder. The error allowed Tanguay to make his way home to tie up the game.

With a scoreless seventh inning, the game moved on to extra innings.

Both pitchers would face three batters in the eighth inning, quickly moving onto the ninth.

Colby-Sawyer would score twice in the top of the ninth on an RBI singles from Brendan Thurber and Andrew Pratt.

The Hornets fought back in their last at-bat with an RBI single from Andre Eason Jr. and a game-tying double from Ryan Cordeiro. Ben Rollins then singled in Eason to take the game 4-3.

Zak Johnson earned a complete-game win with one earned run on five hits with three strikeouts.

Tanguay led the Hornets offensively with three hits on four at-bats and adding two runs.

Nathan Frongillo went 1-for-4 for the Chargers and that one hit gave him 100 career knocks.
