Snipers Score Big Late, Yogi's Score Bigger

The first 6 innings were quite calm until Kevin Brown hit a 3-run homerun for the Snipers to give them a 5-2 lead. Yachats then scored 5 of their own to get a 7-5 lead. John Rocker came in the 8th to try and hold the lead, but allowed all 6 men he faced score, giving the Snipers an 11-7 lead. Finally, the Yogi's answered off of Ugueth Urbina and Hippolito Pichardo including a huge 3-run homerun by Victor Diaz and scored 5 times to give the Yogi's a 12-11 lead. Steve Karsay came in and struck out the side to secure the win.
