Frank Harrison and Garrett Jones each contributed run-producing hits, while aggressive baserunning led to additional scoring opportunities throughout the game.
Closing It Out
With a comfortable lead late, Parkside continued to play clean, disciplined baseball in the field, committing minimal mistakes and refusing to allow Snow Hill any momentum. Merritt closed the door in the final frame to secure the complete-game performance.
