Chase Plebani starts on the hill for the Quakers. Rounding out the defense are Brown at catcher, Monheim at first base, Yamazaki at second, Untereiner at third, Friedman short, Kohn in left, Stevens in center, and Levy in right.

1st...top...Plebani works ahead 0-2 and gets the Grayslake leadoff hitter swinging on a 2-2 curveball...Chase records another strike out as he mows the number two batter down uncontested with a breaking ball...looking for a 1-2-3 inning, Chase battles the number three hitter who fouls off three balls with two strikes but the ball then slips and the batter walks... two down, man on first...Chase throws pure heat to work ahead 0-1 and works ahead 1-2. He continues to battle the cleanup hitter with consecutive foul balls... runner on first steals second as Tray Brown drops the ball on the transfer to throw the runner out... Untereiner fields a ground ball cleanly cleanly at second and throws to first for the final out of the inning...bottom... Chris Stevens leads off for the Quakers... The Grayslake pitcher is a funky side-armer... Chris falls behind 1-2 and goes down looking on a 2-2 count... Luke Friedman at the plate looking to start the Quakers off... Luke puts the ball in play but right back at the pitcher and the Quakers have two down with Chase at the plate... Chase strokes a linedrive down the right field line for a double and Aidan comes up to the plate... Aidan takes two hard hacks against the funky sidearmer and falls behind 0-2... He takes a close pitch for a called strike and the Quakers are back in the field...

2nd...top...Chase Plebani back on the mound... Chase works ahead with a 1-2 count... With a big "OH YEAAH!" from the dugout Chase mows down the leadoff hitter with a sick nasty curveball... Chase quickly works way ahead to 0-2 on the next batter but is unable to capitalize and walks the batter four pitches later... man on first, one out... Chase rolls a ground ball back to the mound but can't gain good footing and throws the ball over Monheim's head at first... the umpires are concerned about Chase's ankle, but everything checks out and Chase hops back on the mound... Runners on 2B and 3B one out... with a big "GOTHEEEMBAAA" and some "WOOOH"'s, Chase strikes out the batter with a curveball...with two outs and runners in scoring position, Chase again works ahead and strikes out the batter on three straight pitches...Score is still tied at 0-0...bottom...Tray Brown looking to lead off the inning and do some damage...he works ahead 3-1... He goes down swinging on the next two pitches... The Quakers have a new teammember: the Raligator, a gator's head and the players touch its head before going up to the plate; unfortunately, its magic seems to lack a certain power thus far... Big Mike skies a ball foul and the first baseman makes a diving grab in foul territory at the fence... Matt Levy is at the plate...he fouls tips a third strike, but it is secured by the catch for the third out of the inning and the Quakers are back in the field...

3rd...top...Chase on the mound working his third inning of the day...he walks the lead off batter...stolen base attempt, and the runner is safe, just beating Brown's throw down...

Chase just misses the zone on a full count to put runners on the corners...runner on first steals second and there are two runners in scoring position....Plebani gets the next batter with a dirty curveball and notable cheers of "Go to SLEEEP" are heard from A-lew and Lipscomb... Chase gets out of a tough inning by throwing pure, uncontested heat and the game is still tied at 0-0...bottom... Max Kohn leads the Quakers off and tries to bunt for a base hit, but the throw just beats him to first... Karou Yamazaki skies straight at the right fielder bringing the top of the order to the plate...Chris Stevens strikes out swinging...

4th...top... Chase back on the mound... the leadoff batter reaches first or a hard ground ball which sneaks under the glove of second baseman Karou Yamazaki...Chase works ahead of the next batter 1-2... with a big GOTHEEMBA the batter swings at a ball in the dirt for a strikeout... the runner on first takes second...Luke bobbles a grounder off a bad hop and there are runners on first and third with one out... Runners move on a suicide squeeze - but Plebani snags the bunt out of the air and throws to Untereiner at third for an inning-ending double play, and the game is still scoreless...bottom... Luke Friedman leads off the inning...Luke battles to a full count and draws a walk... Plebani at the plate... after multiple pick-off attempts, the pitcher throws a ball in the dirt that the first baseman can't handle; it scoots by him and Friedman makes it all the way to third... runner on third, no outs... Plebani, trying to help himself, hits a fly to right -- but it isn't deep enough to allow Friedman to tag... Monheim up but is unable to put the ball in play and goes down on strikes...Tray Brown at the plate, trying for a two-out RBI...an intense battle as Tray battles to stay alive...He takes a close pitch and the Quakers leave Friedman stranded with the score still 0-0...

5th...top... Matt Levy now on the mound...the leadoff hitter lines one up the middle for a base hit... the next batter tries for two consecutive bunt and runs but both times bunts it foul...the batter loops a ball into right center, just out of reach of a diving Chris Stevens...Levy works ahead 0-2 and rolls a ground ball to short; Friedman flips to second for one out, but the runner is safe at first... first and third, one out...Tray guns the ball perfectly at second on the steal but the ball hits the tip of Yamazaki's glove and spins into center field, allowing the run to score from third... Levy works to a 2-2 count...The runner takes third on a ball in the dirt... The batter hits a chopper to shortstop Luke Friedman who fields it and throws to first for an out... the runner on third scores though.... Levy fields a bunt and gets the third out at first... the Quakers trail 0-2...bottom... Big Mike at the plate...he hits a chopper to short and hustles down the line, but the shortstop makes a nice play and the throw beats him by a step... The same exact thing happens with Levy for a second out... Kohn battles at the plate but is called out on strikes...

6th...top... Levy on the mound again...the leadoff hitter sneaks a ground ball past Monheim at first for a single...the runner steals second... batter bunts foul with two strikes for an out...after a nice play to field a hard-hit ball at third, Big Mike fails to get the ball to Monheim in time and the runner on second advances to third... first and third... Runner takes second, leaving runners on second and third... Friedman makes a great throw home on a ground ball but Tray can't hold onto the ball on the tag, and the runner scores... first and third again...batter bunts effectively for an RBI single... runners on first and second, one out...

Chris catches a linedrive in center and tries to get the runner going back to second but not in time... HBP in the foot loads the bases... Wild pitch scores the runner at third and the other runners advance...
