Muddy single drives two runs in Fort era win
In a tense game Fortner reaches third after a Noble single and a Buck Loyd backing stops a ball from rolling. Noble steals second and Fortner is tagged out at home on a close play. A five hit fifth inning scores one more run as Dreifus bunts and steals third, scoring Whitlock’s throw. Loyd then settles in, while Sorrell dominates the mound and Bluefield tallies a final run in an otherwise balanced affair.
