Marcus Becher got the decisive inning started for the Patriots with a leadoff single and Peyton Gray follwoed with a double to put both he and Becher into scoring position. Becher scored on a wild pitch to give Heritage Hills a 4-3 lead and Colten Hopf’s sacrifice fly made it a two-run cushion.
The Highlanders threatened down to their final three outs when two runners reached base on an error and single but a fly out ended the threat.
