The Inland Valley Pirates fell in one of the toughest ways imaginable in 11 innings in game one of a doubleheader against the Signal Hill Oilers at Long Beach City College by a score of 7-6.
After trailing 3-0 for the first six innings, the Pirates manufactured three runs in the top of the seventh to knot it up at 3-3. Zack Cooper, Mario Micketti and Hayden Wright each produced an RBI in the inning.
The score held until the top of the 10th when Breion Barron cranked a three-run home run clearing the left field fence to give the Pirates a 6-3 lead.
The Oilers answered in the bottom of the 10th scoring three runs including the tying run on a wild pitch.
Signal Hill walked off in the 11th as the Pirates ran out of pitching.
