HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • The Pioneers loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the second and grounded into a double play, but a run crossed home to put WP in front, 1-0. Junior Devin Daproza (Englewood, N.J./Leonia) then recorded an RBI single to extend the advantage to two.

  • Bowdoin responded with the game-tying run in the bottom half of the fifth.
