How It Happened

The Grizzlies opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo homer over the left-field wall to lead 1-0. Brewton-Parker had a runner in scoring position in the third inning after an error from Georgia Gwinnett but struggled to piece together an offensive threat to bring home the run.
