In the final frame, Cravey came in to score the winning run on a bases loaded knock from Garrett Davis.

“I wasn’t very pleased with the dugout early in the game,” Andalusia head coach Tyler Dent said. “It’s like it took something happening in the game to give us some life. We can’t be like that. Ayden competed on the mound. Hats off to Geneva. They barreled a lot of balls up. They had 12 hits and we had 14 hits. They kicked it around, we kicked it around and we were just fortunate to score the last run. We were down 8-2 and that says a lot about our kids coming back right there and finding a way to score runs. Just fortunate enough to get that one for sure.”
