Tallulah Falls had a 7-run lead against #1-ranked Prince Avenue Christian, only to see the Wolverines mount a comeback and score seven runs in the seventh in a 12-10 final.

The #4-ranked Indians gave up a pair of runs in the first frame, but Chris Waldron brought home a run on a sac fly. An 8-run second inning for Tallulah Falls featured several highlight plays, including RBI singles by David Dutary, Danny Grant, and Waldron. Diego Gonzalez had a sac fly to make it a 9-2 lead.

That held until the fourth, when Prince Ave got a couple back to set the stage for the comeback. TFS scored a run on an error to take a 10-4 lead in the fifth, but the visitors got a run back in the sixth. 

The seventh started with three straight hits and a walk. After generating one out, Tallulah Falls struggled to close it out. The next three batters walked, then had two straight singles, then another walk. By then it was 12-10.
