James Wyatt’s fifth-inning double brought home two runs to snap a tie game and lead the Scrappers to an 8-6 victory over the River Bandits on Saturday at Benevento Park. Wyatt also had a triple on the day and finished with four RBI.

The River Bandits kept the pressure on throughout the game. Charlie Considine’s first-inning double gave the team a 2-0 lead, and Pierce Burnham had an RBI two-bagger in the fourth that knotted things at 6-6. Asher Schulz had two hits for the River Bandits and Harry Agganis struck out seven batters in three innings of work.

A big fourth inning was crucial for the Scrappers. Glenn Mello, Nalo Benedict, Xander Villareal and Jacob Barros each had RBI in the four-run outburst. Brendan Gazda enjoyed a two-hit game.

Jakob Hulett took the win. He fired three innings of solid ball, allowing four hits and two runs while striking out six.
