A Cameron Mastrelli RBI single wins the game for the Greendogs 4-3 in 7. pic.twitter.com/7cczBDkqIr — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 24, 2021 Early in game one, it seemed as though the Greendogs would win this game without question.

Brody Kennedy was the starting pitcher for the Seminoles, and it turned out that he was the only pitcher for the Noles as he threw a complete game. Kennedy was settled in and rolling early on in the game, but the Tigers jumped on him when the third inning rolled around. He allowed three runs in the third inning, but these would be the only runs that Kennedy allowed all night. When al...
