Two runs crossed the dish giving the indians a 5-4 lead.  The bottom of the seventh looked promising for the Bobcats as they loaded the bases with 2 outs.  Last hope for the team was Avery Bertolini as he worked the count to 3 and 2.  A high and tight fastball was the final demise as the game ended on a check swing grounder to the pitcher.
