Adrian starter went from extra inning hero to pitching star in a single day. Fresh off his big hit in the twelfth inning yesterday, Nick Sarkissian scattered 12 hits to lead the Adrian Buldogs to a 3-2 victory over the Linfield Wildcats. "We got a great pitching performance from Nick," said Adrian Head Coach Craig Rainey. "He kept us in [the game]." Nick Sarkissian added on his role in the last two game, "I like pitching since I am in control of the game, but I like playing the field since it is a lot of fun to get the big hit."

Linfield got the scoring started with a single by David Bachofner whe advanced to third on Nick Sarkissian's error. Stew Davis would singled to center field, driving in Bachofner. Adrian answered right away. Nate Sarkissian reached on a throwing error by Bachofner and scored on Alex Cowart's triple to right. Cowart would score when the next batter, Bobby Rickstad flied out to right field.

The wildcats would tie the score in the fifth. Kevin Mills would single and come home on a when Jordon Boustead singled. Adrian answered the next inning. Nate Sarkissian scored his second run of the game when Steve Vanderheyden doubled to left center.

Linfield would put runners on second and third with one out. After a botched bunt attempt, by Cory Ellis, Dustin Smith would lay down a bunt down the third base line. "It did not surprise us, we played the odds that if they bunted we would move to the next hitter with the bases loaded" said Rainey. "we did a good job in controlling the situation." Shannon Chung never left third base and one batter later, Linfield's season was over.
