University 2
It took an extra inning, but the Royal Palm Beach Wildcats were able to walk off against the University Titans to secure their first win of the 2019 FHSI Classic.
A pitcher's duel between Christian Adams (RPB) and Ethan Spinner (UNI) kept the game scoreless through four innings. The Wildcats broke through in the fifth inning when Solomon Masters drove in Adams to give Royal Palm a 1-0 lead. It did not last however, as Univerity answered back immediately thanks to a sac fly off the bat of Brendan Whaley.
The game went to the eighth inning, and with the international tiebreaker rule in effect, each team started the inning with a runner on second base. University brought in one run in the eighth off a Colby Molle single. They would leave the bases loaded though, and that would prove to be costly.

Adams was the player of the game. In his four innings on the mound, he allowed only one hit, no runs and struck out six. At the plate, he was 3-4 with a run scored.
