Nick Huston followed with an RBI single to put Thomas on the board. Aaron Young followed with an RBI single of his own to make it 2-0. Matt Seymour was hit by a pitch to load the bases with still just one out. Beaver junior starting pitcher Chris Albert (Bradley, Maine) got Jason Bartlett to ground into what appeared to be an inning ending 4-6-3 double play.
