Fusion Church nabs 10-9 comeback win

Comebacks are the theme for the 2021 Fusion Church Little League baseball team.

Fusion Church put together their fourth come-from-behind win in succession with a 10-9 decision over Sunrise Underground during major division play at Copperweld Field Monday evening.

Tied entering the sixth inning, Fusion Church finally got going with a two-out single by Paxton Putnam. He would steal second and score on the RBI double of Grady Schroeder.

Schroeder was the hitting star for Fusion Church as he hammered three doubles. Gavin Garrett added a pair of singles and a two-bagger. Putnam banged out a pair of singles and Austin Winters doubled. Dalton Lee, Brock Gosser and Kale Carpenter all had a basehit.

Putnam pitched three innings of relief for the win. He yielded three runs on three hits with three walks and six strikeouts. Auden Winters worked the sixth for the save and he snagged a line drive up the middle for the first out, recorded a strikeout and the third out was a defensive play from Garrett who retrieved the ball that careened off the backstop and he applied the tag at home on a baserunner attempting to score.
