Tino Toucet of the Spartans and Brett Adams of the Eagles put up zeros for the first four and a half innings. WCA (2-0) scored the game’s lone run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Andrew Petro singled to lead off, then advanced to second on Jonathan Castro’s sacrifice bunt. Petro reached third on a passed ball, then a grounder to short by Will Carillo scored Petro.
