In the 6th inning Baseball U had runners on the corners with 1 out when a flyball to right field set up a tagup play where a controversial call had the tagging runner from 3rd base called out at home ending the inning. Baseball U did not push a run across in the game after threatening several times event with a ball that was hit to the fence for a possible HR that fell inches short falling 1-0 to the Dirtbags who went on to play in the Championship game.
