Lenox Rallies Past Lee in Seventh

Another hit batter loaded the bases for Zack Nicotra, who worked a walk to drive in a run. Jack Hicks followed and did the same, tying the game, 12-12.

 

That brought up Shepardson for the second time in the inning, and he ended the game with his second hit of the afternoon.

 

Blake Hoff and Ryan Johansen each had three hits for Lenox, which got a double and three RBIs from Nicotra.

 

For Lee, Kyle Kelly went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs.
