Chase Field

9pm vs Diversified (A East)
W, 22-21

It was an interesting game with Trevor not showing up. Luckily... Anybody can pitch in slow pitch softball so Sage took the mound. It was a roller coaster game with errors the prime focus of the game. 
Pokes were their own worst enemy allowing Diversified to stay close and eventually take the lead in the last inning 17-21. 
Pokes had to nut up and squeeze out a win to stay unbeaten. 
Josh led off with a solo jack (unintentional) to left center that barely cleared the wall. Ross and Kyle each beat out infield singles to set up Sage who smacked a shot off the right field wall for a two run triple with only one out. With Pokes still down one Tanner hit a double to center to tie the game up. Zak stepped in the box and hit a single to right scoring Tanner for the win. 
The top of the order (Sage, Tanner, Zak, and Clay) were on fire for the game going a combined 15 for 15 with 15 runs scored and 12 RBI's. 
Shelby had a solid game as well with 5 RBI's, a triple, and a home run.
