Liam Tylutki was throwing darts for Holland Farms in the 1st inning striking out the first 3 batters he faced. A single by Liam lead to 2 runs scoring on a 1-3 fielder's choice off the hot bat of Jack Sydoriw. Nick Day who had a day at the plate going 3-for-3 led-off the 2nd with a single and scored after a single from Vito LoCaccio to get Cliffs on the board. Landon Christopher turned in a 3 up 3 down inning striking out 3 in the 2nd to keep it a tight 2-1 game. Cliffs took the lead in the 3rd scoring 3 runs. Brayden Anderson blasted a triple, Nick launched an RBI double, and Vito chipped in another single. Their lead wouldn't last long as Holland Farms tied it up in the bottom of the inning with a single from Nate, an RBI double by Liam, and a double from Jack Sydoriw. Cliffs wasn't going to let this one slip away though as they added 3 more in the 4th with a 2 out rally.

Holland Farms would grab a run in the bottom of the 5th on an RBI single from Nate. Nate took that momentum back to the mound getting a strikeout, an incredible 4-3 groundout turned by Augie Magnanti and Jayden Schultz, and another strikeout to secure the 8-7 win for Cliffs. Vito LoCaccio turned in an outstand defensive performance behind the plate for Cliffs and delivered perfect throws to the bases trying to catch runners stealing. Liam hit a prefect 4-for-4 for Holland Farms. At the conclusion of the game a great display of sportsmanship was observed. Landon Christopher who you can consider a Cliffs captain put his arm around the young player who struck out to end the game and told him not to worry about it, that he had struck out as well. That right there is a perfect example of what Oriskany Little League baseball is all about.
