In the Boys Championship Game, Mount Scio held off two comebacks by Outer Cove in the latter stages of the game and hung on to defeat them 10-9 for their first Moss Tournament Championship.
The winners were leading 6-2 after four innings when Outer Cove put the pressure on to look like what would be their first Moss Tournament Victory after being runners up on three previous occasions in 1985, 87 and 88.
Winning pitcher was Steven Rice, while Shannon Power took the loss.
Mount Scio scored the winning run with two out in the top of the eight when Rice hit a double up the middle and scored on short stop Gerry Hanlon’s single. With one out in the eighth, Outer Cove had left-fielder Mark Murphy on third base following his base hit single and an error but couldn’t capitalize the tying run as Shannon Power was called out on strikes to end the game.
