ROCKLEDGE 8, MIMS 7: Evalisse Garcia went 3-for-4 for Mims Little League as they went into the bottom of the 6th inning trailing Rockledge 8-4. The Mims’ bats hammered away at the Rockledge lead to bring them within 1 run when an overthrown ball from the outfield gave Mims a chance to tie the game. But the Rockledge catcher retrieved the overthrow and tossed the ball to the pitcher in time to tag the runner at the plate for the 8-7 Rockledge victory in 6 complete innings. B. Snyder pitched the entire game for Rockledge to get the win.
