Fernandina Beach grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the first thanks to an RBI ground out from Caleb Goltz that scored Aiden Sweatt, before the Pirates broke things open with three runs in both the third and fourth innings.

It was Sam Gray and Goltz that got things going in the third, as Gray singled and Goltz followed with a walk to put some runners on base. Will Waters then delivered an RBI single, and both Goltz and Waters later scored on a wild pitch.

An inning later Andrew Garcia singled and Sweatt dropped down a bunt and also reached to get things started again. Drake Lilly then connected with a liner to right field for an RBI single, Gray followed with another RBI single to right and Goltz kept it going with an RBI single to left that made it a 7-0 lead for the Pirates.

Aiden Sweatt was 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs to lead Fernandina Beach. *Photo courtesy of Amelia Island Sports Photography.
