Flying down the line to start the bottom of the 7th, the Hermon fielder was forced to rush a ground ball play and speedy James McConomy reached on an error.With McConomy in scoring position and down to their last strike and with two outs Stanley Grierson fouled off several pitches before lining a hard single to center field for the game tying RBI. Stanley Grierson then stole second base. Riley Swanson hit one off and passed the short stop into shallow left. Coach Pooler sent Grierson around third and on a very close play at home and dirt flying Stanley slid past and slapped a hand tag on the plate for the win.
