Purple Team Retalates, Wins 14 to 4: Evens the Series at 1 a Piece

Game two of the Purple and Grey World Series was a role reversal from game one. Game 2 had freshman pitcher, Jack Waggner, taking the bump facing sophomore pitcher, Dalton Spurgeon. Jack came into this game already posting some good numbers for the fall, as he had given up zero runs all fall in 13 innings of work. They Grey team struck first scoring one run in the top of the first, but the Purple team would answer in the bottom of the first scoring 2 runs on 3 hits, and giving the freshman pitcher his first earned runs of the fall season. It would get even more ugly for the freshman righty in the bottom of the second, as he gave up 4 more runs, including a 3 RBI opposite field blast to left by freshman first basemen, Chase Edwards.
With the score being 6 to 1 in the top of the 3rd inning left fielder, Mixon, for the Grey team would return the favor and hit his own 3 run bomb, making the score 6 to 4 But unfortunately these were the last runs scored for the Grey teams, as the Purple team would score 8 more unanswered runs. The 8 unanswered runs would include 5 more hits.
Waggner would earn the loss, and Spurgeon would grab the win, and the complete game. The purple team had 4 players with multi hit games. Purple team's, Chase Edwards, posted a 6 RBI day, with a homerun, a double, and also a single. Josh Wooly also homered, while Alex Smith, Jake Smith, and Fielder Dufrene were all 2-3.
This win for the Purple team ties the series a 1 a piece. The series continues Friday at 4, as the Grey team will take home field advantage.
