With the score 5-3 in T6, the Hammer’s Kyle Davis hits a 2-out, 2-strike 3-run HR and suddenly the Hammer lead 6-5.

The Hammer get a couple more on a 2-out Geoff Hornby single that the Fury outfielder gets a glove on but can’t hold. The Fury go down in order in B7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
