*********
Kars got started early in the top of the first on a beautiful fall night. Brad Pender tripled, followed by a Kristian Knapp walk. Pender scored on a wild pitch and Knapp advanced to third after a fly out to left field. Nick Ellis then walked and stole second. Dylan Toms hit a grounder to second base and the Rebels tried to get the speedy Knapp at home but were unsuccessful. With the Rebels not scoring in the bottom of the frame, the Aces led 2-0 after one.

The Aces put up another three runs in the second. After Chad Milne reached on an error, Pender singled, moving Milne to third. A Knapp sacrifice fly to left scored Milne. Cory Alkerton then hit a two-run shot to put Kars up 5-0.

Orleans got on the board in the third. Derek Barber reached based on a dropped third strike. Andy Barber singled and when it was misplayed, Derek scored. A single by Moises Del Corral scored Andy to make it 5-2.

In the fourth Kars made it 6-2 when Toms drove in Alkerton who had singled and moved to second on a wild pitch.

A bases loaded, two out, dropped third strike in the sixth allowed Knapp to score to make it 7-2.

The Aces put up four more in the seventh. Pender doubled with one out and Knapp reached on a hit by pitch. Pender scored on an Ellis single, followed by a Toms three-run homer.

Orleans got two back in the bottom of the seventh. Spencer Rodd walked and scored on a Juan Morales triple. Morales scored on a passed ball.
