Chris Palomo started the rally with a two-run homer in the 5th.  Down 7-6 going into the final inning Gering took its first lead on a Sidney throwing error and added one more on a fielder’s choice.  Sidney stranded two on base in the bottom of the seventh and Gering earned its third win of the summer.

Dalton Scott started for Gering on the mound and gave up seven runs, six hits and walked seven in his three innings of work before giving way to Mike Gutherless who slammed the door on the Sidney offense with four innings of three-hit ball and no runs coming across.
