Cooper Wright came on to pitch a strong final two innings for the Trojans in a back and forth game as Saint James evened its record at 8 - 8 with a 10 - 7 victory over Capital City Conference foe Catholic.

The Trojans scored three runs in the bottom of the first.  Ethan Beard reached on an error, stole second, and scored on a Zac Russell double.  After a walk to Carson Howard and a fly out, both runners would score on a Tyson Eley sacrifice fly and a wild throw home.

Catholic, however, responded with six in the top of the second as each of the first six batters reached and scored.  J.C. Hardigree singled, stole second, and advanced to third on a wild pitch.  Hudson Parrish walked and Marcus Dees was hit by a pitch to load the bases.  Hardigree eventually scored on an error and Justin Rose walked to reload the bases.  Alex Weiser singled, and Spencer Bach drove in two with a double.  Bach eventually scored the sixth run of the inning on a two out double by Dean Johnson.

Saint James tied the game by scoring two unearned runs in the bottom of the second and a single run in the bottom of the third on a Beard sacrifice fly.

Catholic retook a one run lead in the fourth on an unearned run.  Saint James would again tie the game in the fifth on an unearned run after a Beard RBI single.

Saint James would seal the game in the sixth on an error and consecutive hits by Howard, K.J. Jackson, and Tyson Eley before Wright earned the win despite Catholic bringing the potential tying run to the plate.
