This game was tight all evening with the score being 6-6 going into extras but the Bombers stayed alive and kept momentum going all the way to the end allowing them to move back into the winners column. Many Bombers made their debut tonight and these athletes played a critical role in tonight's win setting up their new team for a hopeful future.

In the first this Monday evening division one athlete Christian Smith Johnson advances to 1st on a single, logging an RBI scoring Cole Modgling to begin the high number of hits for the Bombers this evening. The next offensive action the Bombers saw in tonight's game would be in the third inning with back to back hits earned by Angelo State teammates Justin Harris and Jacob Guerrero.
