The Stars loaded the bases with one out in the top of the sixth and the momentum was on their side. Peter B. came up big to regain the momentum by striking out the fourth and fifth batters in the Stars lineup. Bottom of the sixth the Astros have runners at second and third with no outs and the party is just beginning.Stars Pitcher Jake H., with the heart of a champion, puts an end to the party with a strikeout, pop-up to second and a grounder to second to shutdown the Astros third, fourth and fifth batters in the lineup. With the sun down in the bottom of the seventh, Galen E. punches one through the infield to get things going. Emigh steals second, advances to third on a fielder's choice and scores the winning run on an overthrow at third that rolls out of play.
