GAME SUMMARY
Lewis got on the board first as Jason Krol (Chicago, Ill./St. Laurence) singled in the bottom of the second to score Mikey Kocen (Beach Park, Ill.). The Flyers would extend their lead in the fourth inning when Chris McDevitt (Chicago, Ill./St. Rita) belted an 0-2 pitch over the fence to make it 2-0.

The Greyhounds cut the lead in half in the sixth inning on a sacrifice bunt, and then evened the score in the top of the seventh on a home run.

The lead was short lived though as Thomas Fox (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Christian) hit a two-run home run to straightaway center field. The next batter, Kocen, followed with a homer to right field to add an insurance run and make it a 5-2 game.

Indianapolis threatened in the top of the ninth inning, bringing the tying run to the plate after a pair of walks, but a fielder's choice ended the game.
