Karsyn Wiley started the game and took the unfortunate loss despite giving up only 1 earned run. The fifth inning proved to be the downfall for Oak Hill as they gave up 4 runs, which would clinch the game for the Eastbrook Panthers.
Oak Hill did put together four hits and had runners in scoring position several times, but could not drive home the crucial runs until Taylor Holloway had a huge 2-rbi single in the 6th inning.
