Coach’s quote: “Mike pitched another strong game, a couple miscues behind him let in two unearned runs. We had some chances on offense early, but couldn’t get the big two-out base hit with runners on base. Nice rally in the seventh, but once again, it was too little too late.” – Bishop Brady’s Skip Foy
Records: Inter-Lakes 5-1; Bishop Brady 2-5
