Jacob Williams drove in three runs with two hits while Grant Johnson pitched into the 5th inning allowing one run with eight strikeouts. Kyle Horton got the final two batters out.
Despite the five run deficit, Great Bridge answered with a three spot of their own in the sixth inning to pull within two (6-4). A single by leadoff hitter Brelin Harden drove in two runs for the Wildcats.
