With the score poised delicately at 4-4 at the end of the regulation five innings, Catholic High showed more composure to win the tie-breaker 6-5.
It was a close game throughout with the score at 3-3 by the end of the third inning. Both teams managed only one more run in the fifth inning to finish the game tied 4-4. But James, the smallest-sized member of the Catholic High team managed to connect with the pitch by Wei Yang of ACS(I) to bring home Daniel for the tie-breaking run. That proved to be a crucial run as Catholic High held on to win the game.
Both teams are still in with a chance to qualify for the National semifinals as they still have to play Maris Stella and Damai in crucial matches.

Ah thanks for the correction, Ian.
Hi Les,
The headline should read “Catholic High beats ACS (Ind) 6-5”
Also, since that game, Maris Stella beat Catholic High 12-6 in the final group game. Eventually, Damai Sec and ACS (Ind) managed to qualify for the national semi finals!
