Centralia 7, Aberdeen 6

Aberdeen (4-3, 5-5 Evergreen 2A) fought back from down 5-2 and got back within striking distance with a pair of runs in the fifth inning to trim the Tigers’ lead to 5-4.

Centralia (3-4, 5-5) tacked on two runs in the top of seventh to put the game out of reach despite Aberdeen scoring two runs of its own in the bottom of that inning.

Aberdeen’s Logan Glanz was an offensive standout with three RBI, including two in the first inning.
