MILL RUN  3, MITCH’S BAIL BONDS 2

MILL RUN –– The Mill Run baseball team is celebrating its 100^th year this season.

The team had even more to celebrate Friday when a bases-loaded walk to Jeremy Miller in the bottom of the eighth inning allowed Mill Run to edge Mitch’s Bail Bonds, 3-2, to keep its Fayette County Baseball League season alive and even the playoff series at one game apiece.

 “This was a tough loss. We were on the other end of a game like this a couple of days ago,” Mitch’s manager Ryan Encapera said. “We had some runners on base in scoring position a couple of times but we couldn’t come through, driving the runs in. We hit the ball hard but they made the plays and took care of business.”

   The deciding game three in the series will be played at 4 p.m. Sunday in Charleroi.
