However, the Tigers weren’t going to go down without a fight.

In the seventh, Wyatt Weges started out the inning with a walk. He would move into scoring position on a passed ball.

With two outs, teammate Clark Ritzman was plunked by a Wildcat offering.

East Juniata loaded the bases on a Kolten Martin walk.

Kelton Bonnell cleared the bases, notching a triple. Bonnell scored Martin, Ritzman and Weges to take the lead at 4-2.
