The First National Bank and Trust Athletics were just that – athletic, in their close 1-run win over PCI Red Tuesday.

The A’s had to come from behind in their 9-8 win as PCI got on the scoreboard first with a first inning run by Bailey Williams. The Red continued to add to their lead in the second inning with runs from Jayce Sells, Matthew Harris, Cameron Wynn, Trace Sells and Garret Chance, taking a 6-0 lead to shut out the As heading into the third.

FNB&T would show their mettle early in the third inning, however, bouncing back to tie up the game with runs from Jacoby James, Sam Smith, Jacob Harrison, Bryant Quimby, Tyler Renthroe and Jaylen Lee.

Both teams mounted strong defensive efforts in the fourth inning, keeping the opposing offenses scoreless, but the fifth inning would prove to be the game changer as both squads found home plate several times.

For PCI, Williams crossed home plate for  a second time and a score from Damon Rolin gave the Red a late 8-6 lead, but a late surge from the Athletics would give them the 9-8 win following scores from Smith, Harrison and Lee.
