In the top of the fourth inning, Sanders smacked a two-run single into right field. The single was followed by an RBI double from Chase Hoepfner.

York’s lone runs came in the bottom of the fourth inning, as the Falcons scored on a fielding error and a Dylan Dye RBI single.

Grafton scored three more times in the top of the fifth inning, stretching the lead to 12-2 and ending the game because of the Virginia High School League’s 10-run rule.
