There were a lot of distractions during the season, but I hope got something good out of it and learned some baseball. I enjoyed working with them."

Jared Hedrick led off the seventh inning with a walk, Roper Craft and Kevin Brown walked, Caleb Gillespie scored a run on a walk before Joseph Bonnette and Holden Hill each drew walks.

Tensas retired the final batter to end the game.
