Harvey took the lead early on a 2 run home run by senior Jason Ecker. Harvey then stretched the lead to 4-0 on a two-out RBI single by Corey Eisenband scoring Will Schubert. Masters then fought back with a seven-run explosion in the bottom half of in the second inning. The Masters rally included back-to- back homeruns.

Now trailing by three, Harvey bounced back with 5 runs of its own in the top of the 3rd with six hits in the inning, as well as an 11 pitch walk to Jackson Roberts.

The slugfest continued into the 5th inning with the score knotted up at 11. Masters capitalized on some uncharacteristic sloppy defense by Harvey. Four errors by Harvey allowed three unearned runs to score to give Masters a 14-11 lead. But The Harvey’s bats would not go down without one last fight. The Cavaliers chipped away for a run in the 6th as Will Schubert scored on an RBI by Jackson Roberts.

Will Schubert, the third of three Harvey pitchers, retired the side 1, 2, 3 in the bottom half of the 6th to keep it close for his team’s last at bat. Senior Mikhyle Stein started the seventh inning off with a single to left. After a fielder’s choice, Jason Ecker reached on an error, putting the tying runs on base, but Mike Chavkin and Schubert each flew out to end the game and end the season for Harvey.

Seniors, Mike Morra, Mikhyle Stein, Jason Ecker, and Will Schubert had a combined 11 hits on the afternoon. Coach Mike Rubenfeld praised his seniors.

“Their abilities and leadership will surely be missed next season.”  “All in all,” he said, “it was the most exciting game of the year, and although the result was not what we had in mind, it was a good game to cap off a nice season for us.”
