On Friday night, Green Bay struck first in the third thanks to two RBI singles by Bullfrog outfielders Brian Celsi (California) and Johnny Bekakis (Long Beach State). The 2-0 Bullfrog lead held up until the eighth inning when Kingfish outfielder Pat Porter (Ohio State) smacked a line drive down the right field line for a bases clearing triple giving Kenosha a 3-2 lead.
