The Indians went to Elberton and gave the #1-ranked Blue Devils all they could handle, forcing Elbert County to win on the final at-bat with a walk-off 7-6 win.
TFS put the pressure on early with a pair of runs in the first, but an Elbert 4-run second gave the home team the 5-2 lead. The Indians battled back to score 3 runs in the fourth and tie the game, only to see Elbert County reclaim the lead in the home half. Again Tallulah Falls knotted the contest in the fifth, and the Blue Devils needed a walk-off in the seventh to claim the win.
Rohajae Pinder doubled in two runs in the first inning, plating Danny Grant and Ashton Roache. In the fourth, Chase Pollock brought in Roache with a base hit up the middle. Cole Bonitatibus then doubled in Pollock and Caden Walker to tie the game at the time. Pollock had a sacrifice fly to bring home Grant in the fifth.
Bonitatibus earned the tough-luck loss after relieving Walker. Bonitatibus allowed a couple of unearned runs across 5 innings of work, striking out 5 against just one hit and one walk. The Indians totaled 9 hits in the contest, with Grant and Pollock recording 2-hit games. Roache, Pinder, Walker, Bonitatibus, and Zaiden Cox also had hits. Pinder, Pollock, and Bonitatibus all had 2 RBI apiece, and Grant and Roache both had 2 runs scored.
TFS is now 3-5 overall and 0-1 in region play.
