The Bulls having lost their first game in the tournament, were facing a ‘must win’ situation in Game 2 of pool play.
The Duck’s quacked first with a run in the top of the 2nd, but the Bulls responded with 2 runs in the bottom of the 2nd when Devin Lumley’s single scored Ryan Harrell to tie the game at 1-1. Bryce Jarvis’s infield grounder brought home Craig Colbourne for a Bulls 2-1 lead.
The Bulls held their 2-1 lead until the top of the 6th when the Ducks were able to tie the game at 2-2 on back to back doubles.
In the bottom of the 6th, with time running out on the game clock, Jay Dixon’s single scored pinch runner Isaac Campbell (running for Alec Widmer, who had doubled earlier) and the Bulls took the 3-2 win.
