Miles says ‘every day’s the 4th of July’ and so did Robert Lamm. Taillon turned in a quality effort, striking out eight men [VIDEO], allowing the single earned run, and the bullpen took over up three. Jordan Walker ran into one against Caleb Thielbar [VIDEO], and the lead was one. More fireworks would be needed.

It’s Michael Busch’s league. He tripled to score Shaw from first in the seventh [VIDEO], making the score 5-3. PCA went bombs away (31) in the eighth for two more [VIDEO].
