Moffitt's first hit came. in the bottom of the third pushing runners into scoring position and allowing Prosper to score on back-to-back walks. It wasn't long before Moffitt added another hit (a two-run single) to put Prosper up 4-0.
With a handful of Guyer errors, Prosper capitalized from the plate a couple more times before the end of the game while their defense held strong allowing only two runs to score for Guyer.
