 Boy what a game the Coconuts and the Dukes had on Field B on Tuesday.

The Coconuts opened the game with 4 in the first, the Dukes answered with 5 to take the lead. This was the pattern throughout the game as the lead changed hands almost every inning it truly was a very close game throughout.
In the 7th the Dukes came back with two, tying the game at 14. The Coconuts added one in the 8th to retake the lead 15-14. The Dukes plated 3 retaking the lead 17-15 in the bottom of the 8th. The Coconuts scored two in the 9th to tie the score 17-17 going to the bottom of the 9th.

Ed Fultz led off the bottom of 9th with a sharply hit ground ball to Coconuts shortstop Robbie Spitaleri, that he just beat out for an infield single to bring up Rob Reed. Rob with a full count hit the top of the screen before hitting a double to center on the next pitch to score Ed from 1st base for the game winner. Dukes win 18-17. What a Game!
