Who knows how it would’ve ended, had it not been for Ian-Olivier Nioka? The 27-year old catcher Nioka stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put Bywater up, 4-2. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.
Bywater manager Sulak Daggerdrinker commended his team for “doing what it takes to win.”
Game 3 is scheduled for Sunday at The Water Park.
