Key Plays
-The game was scoreless until the third when Young got the scoring started for the Chargers with a bases-loaded double that cleared the bags and put the guests ahead 3-0, and UAH would tack on three more with Vaught and Reagan Malone singling in runs before Malone scored on an error to push UAH in front 6-0.
