Recap
It was only a matter of time.

Mike Gantert (three runs scored), Noah Reimel (two RBI, run scored), Spencer Mitchell (two RBI, run scored) and Bleakley (two RBI) each posted two hits on the afternoon.
Matt Schneider came on in relief, and left with the loss, allowing three runs (one earned) across 1-2/3 innings as Upper Perk totaled five errors on the afternoon. Aaron Benner finished 2-for-4 at the dish with a run scored and an RBI.
