The visiting Crusaders jumped out to an early one run lead at 1-0 in the first, but Shiloh quickly answered with two of their own and another in the second, leading 3-1.

Griffin tied the game at three before Shiloh added two making the score 6-4 after five.

The resilient Crusaders would rally in the sixth to tie the game at six, before Will Mitchell would lead off the bottom of the sixth with a single to right and Micah Compton would walk and come around on a Caleb Compton double to start a three run inning for the home team.

Compton would retire GCA on three ground balls to shortstop Sorrells in the seventh to end the game and earn the win.

It was a great win to end a successful first season for SCA, who plans to expand to varsity as well as middle school baseball for next season.

The Christian-based school also plans to add middle school and varsity softball to their athletic offerings in the fall.
