Tri Star stayed alert on the basepaths and took all the free bags they could get. Tri Star had good approaches throughout the game which eventually allowed them to score 14 runs off of Hustle Factory’s pitching staff.  Hustle Factory had little response to Tri Star’s offense, which allowed them to score only four runs.  In the end, this game was all Tri Star, giving them their first win of the tournament.
