By the fourth inning, we were down 19-7, and, with two outs, we put up 12 runs to tie it up 19 a piece. In the seventh inning, we were down four runs and came up with three. With a man on first and second, it was over. Our guys were disappointed, but we were all pretty happy on how we fought back.”It was a good fight – a real shootout – and we’re proud to have been a sponsor – congrats from the NFH team!The Mile High Saloon in Colorado Springs sponsored the tournament.
